Testing the standard model with lattice calculations

The following sections are included:

• Strong renormalization of weak operators

  • Effective Hamiltonian

  • An example:

  • Lattice vs continuum renormalization of the effective Hamiltonian

• Lattice discrete symmetries

• Some simple examples

  • Leptonic decay constants of mesons

  • Leptonic decay constants in the heavy quark limit.

  • Electromagnetic widths of vector mesons

  • Form factors

  • Meson B parameters

  • Other purely hadronic weak interactions

• Evading a no-go theorem
