Gradient flow is a diffusion-like smearing transformation that smoothly suppresses short-distance ultraviolet fluctuations, thus introducing a simple non-perturbative method to renormalise strongly-coupled theories such as Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). It has become an invaluable tool in lattice simulations of both QCD and theories beyond the Standard Model, providing a method for ...

Lattice QCD permits the strong coupling constant alpha_s to be determined from the masses and decay constants of the light hadrons. The precision achieved in these computations is competitive with the one of the world average of the experimental measurements of the coupling and is likely to improve in the ...

The Nordic Lattice meeting is an annual event designed to foster collaboration between and beyond the Nordic countries. Previously, it was held in Denmark (Odense 01/2022), Finland (Helsinki 08/2022), Norway (Stavanger 06/2023), Sweden (Lund 06/2024) and Switzerland (CERN 05/2025). The Nordic lattice community is actively ...

General Relativity is naturally treated as a quantum field theory using the techniques of effective field theory. In this colloquium, I will review the simple ideas behind this treatment and provide examples. This will lead to a discussion of the lessons learned and the limits of the theory. Overall I ...

This workshop will celebrate the career and research accomplishments of Lance Dixon, whose decisive impact has been felt across many areas of theoretical physics. The event will involve three days of talks from some of Lance's long-time collaborators, including: Babis Anastasiou Benjamin Basso Zvi Bern Ruth Britto Francis Brown ...
