Apr 26, 2010 at 15:37 comment added Kevin H. Lin What's T.O.E.? Theory of everything?
Apr 26, 2010 at 8:22 comment added Kelly Davis @Dylan From an effective field theory point-of-view having "infinitely many terms in your Lagrangian" is quite normal. Furthermore, as we have no T.O.E., all physical QFT theories are effective field theories and thus all have infinitely many terms in their Lagrangian. The only reason these terms don't appear normally is that they are suppressed by powers of 1/M, where M is the cut-off scale.

Apr 26, 2010 at 0:00 comment added Kevin H. Lin What Grassmannian?
Apr 25, 2010 at 23:20 comment added Dylan Thurston I don't think we're disagreeing with each other...
Apr 25, 2010 at 19:23 comment added Kelly Davis From a physicist point-of-view this labeling is non-standard. However, for the context in which this appears, Kevin Costello's book on perturbative renormalization for mathematicians, it makes sense as a way of easing mathematicians in to Feynman digrams.
