Encyclopedia > Scaling limit

If we wish to have a lattice model which approximates a continuum quantum field theory in the limit as the lattice spacing goes to zero, then this corresponds to finding a second order phase transition of the model. This is the scaling limit of the model. In physics, a lattice model is a physical model that is not defined on a continuum, but on a lattice, which is a graph or an n-complex approximating spacetime or space. ... Usually a continuum refers to a whole, no part of which can be distinguished from neighboring parts except by arbitrary division. ... Quantum field theory (QFT) is the application of quantum mechanics to fields. ... In physics, a phase transition is the transformation of a thermodynamic system from one phase to another. ...
