In physics, an effective field theory is a type of approximation, or effective theory, for an underlying physical theory, such as a quantum field theory or a statistical mechanics model. An effective field theory includes the appropriate degrees of freedom to describe physical phenomena occurring at a chosen length scale or energy scale, while ignoring substructure and degrees of freedom at shorter distances (or, equivalently, at higher energies). Intuitively, one averages over the behavior of the underlying theory at shorter length scales to derive what is hoped to be a simplified model at longer length scales. Effective field theories typically work best when there is a large separation between length scale of interest and the length scale of the underlying dynamics. Effective field theories have found use in particle physics, statistical mechanics, condensed matter physics, general relativity, and hydrodynamics. They simplify calculations, and allow treatment of dissipation and radiation effects.

在物理学中,<font color="#ff8000"> 有效场论Effective field theory</font>是一种近似的理论,或者说是一种有效的理论,用于基础的物理理论,比如量子场论或者统计力学模型理论。一个有效的场论包括用适当的自由度来描述在选定的长度尺度或能量尺度下发生的物理现象,而忽略在较短距离上的子结构和自由度(或者等效地,在较高的能量上)。直观上,一个人可以用较短的长度尺度对潜在理论的行为进行平均,从而希望得出一个在较长长度尺度下的简化模型。有效的领域理论通常最好的时候有一个大分离的我们感兴趣的长度尺度和长度尺度的基本动态。有效的场理论已经在粒子物理学、统计力学、凝聚态物理学、广义相对论和流体力学中得到了应用。它们简化了计算,并可以处理耗散和辐射效应。

Presently, effective field theories are discussed in the context of the renormalization group (RG) where the process of integrating out short distance degrees of freedom is made systematic. Although this method is not sufficiently concrete to allow the actual construction of effective field theories, the gross understanding of their usefulness becomes clear through an RG analysis. This method also lends credence to the main technique of constructing effective field theories, through the analysis of symmetries. If there is a single mass scale M in the microscopic theory, then the effective field theory can be seen as an expansion in 1/M. The construction of an effective field theory accurate to some power of 1/M requires a new set of free parameters at each order of the expansion in 1/M. This technique is useful for scattering or other processes where the maximum momentum scale k satisfies the condition k/M≪1. Since effective field theories are not valid at small length scales, they need not be renormalizable. Indeed, the ever expanding number of parameters at each order in 1/M required for an effective field theory means that they are generally not renormalizable in the same sense as quantum electrodynamics which requires only the renormalization of two parameters.

目前,有效场理论是在<font color="#ff8000"> 重整化群Renormalization group</font>(RG)的背景下讨论的,重整化群使短距离自由度的积分过程变得系统化。尽管这种方法不够具体,无法实际构建有效场理论,但通过RG分析,对其有用性的总体理解变得清晰。通过对对称性的分析,该方法也为构造有效场理论的主要技术提供了依据。如果微观理论中只有一个质量尺度M,因此,有效场理论可以看作是1/M的展开式。建立精确到1/M幂次的有效场理论需要在1/M展开的每一阶上都有一组新的自由参数。这种方法对于散射或其他最大动量标度k满足条件k/M≪1的过程是有用的。由于有效场理论在小尺度下是无效的,所以它们不必是可重正化的。事实上,有效场理论所要求的每阶1/M的参数数目不断增加,这意味着它们通常不能像只需要两个参数重正化的量子电动力学那样可重整化。

This theory posited a pointlike interaction between the four fermions involved in these reactions. The theory had great phenomenological success and was eventually understood to arise from the gauge theory of electroweak interactions, which forms a part of the standard model of particle physics. In this more fundamental theory, the interactions are mediated by a flavour-changing gauge boson, the W<sup>±</sup>. The immense success of the Fermi theory was because the W particle has mass of about 80 GeV, whereas the early experiments were all done at an energy scale of less than 10 MeV. Such a separation of scales, by over 3 orders of magnitude, has not been met in any other situation as yet.

这个理论假定了参与这些反应的四个费米子之间的点状相互作用。这个理论在现象学上取得了巨大的成功,并最终被理解为产生于弱电相互作用的规范理论,它构成了粒子物理学标准模型的一部分。在这个更基本的理论中,相互作用是由一个可以改变味的规范玻色子w±介导的。费米理论的巨大成功是因为 w 粒子的质量约为80gev,而早期的实验都是在能量小于10mev 的情况下进行的。这样的分离在超过3个数量级时,还没有在任何其他情况下达到。

Another famous example is the BCS theory of superconductivity. Here the underlying theory is of electrons in a metal interacting with lattice vibrations called phonons. The phonons cause attractive interactions between some electrons, causing them to form Cooper pairs. The length scale of these pairs is much larger than the wavelength of phonons, making it possible to neglect the dynamics of phonons and construct a theory in which two electrons effectively interact at a point. This theory has had remarkable success in describing and predicting the results of experiments on superconductivity.

另一个著名的例子是超导现象的 BCS 理论。这里的基本理论是金属中的电子与称为声子的晶格振动相互作用。声子在一些电子之间引起吸引力的相互作用,导致它们形成库珀对。这些对的长度比声子的波长大得多,因此可以忽略声子的动力学,并建立一个两个电子在一个点上有效相互作用的理论。这个理论在描述和预测超导现象的实验结果方面取得了显著的成功。

Effective field theories have also been used to simplify problems in General Relativity, in particular in calculating the gravitational wave signature of inspiralling finite-sized objects. The most common EFT in GR is "Non-Relativistic General Relativity" (NRGR), which is similar to the post-Newtonian expansion. Another common GR EFT is the Extreme Mass Ratio (EMR), which in the context of the inspiralling problem is called EMRI.
