Lectures:
- Overview and introduction to continuum chiral perturbation theory (ChPT)
[exercise1]
Note that lecture 1 ended at slide 42—the remaining material is repeated at the beginning of lecture 2 - Continuum ChPT continued: Power counting; adding sources; lllustrative results; SU(2) ChPT with a heavy strange quark; finite volume effects
[exercise2] - Including discretization effects in ChPT using Symanzik’s effective theory
[exercise3] - Partially quenched ChPT and applications, including a discussion of whether m_up=0 is meaningful
