Running Coupling from a Classical Soliton Model - Part 1

Explore the concept of running coupling in field theory through a lecture from the HyperComplex Seminar 2023. Delve into the Model of Topological Particles (MTP) and its approach to describing electrons as topological solitons with finite size and mass. Examine how MTP addresses the issue of infinities in the Coulomb field of point-like charges without the need for their removal. Investigate the numerical computations of soliton pair energies at varying distances to understand how MTP naturally explains the running charge of electrons. Gain insights into this alternative perspective on quantum mechanics and its implications for our understanding of fundamental particles and their interactions.
