Delve into advanced mathematical methods in physics with this 42-minute continuation lecture from the HyperComplex Seminar 2023. Explore the concept of running coupling in field theory through the lens of the model of topological particles (MTP). Examine how MTP describes electrons as topological solitons with finite size and mass, eliminating the need for infinity removal in calculations. Investigate numerical computations of soliton pair energy at varying distances to understand the origin of running electric charge in electrons. Gain insights into how MTP naturally accounts for the running charge phenomenon without relying on traditional point-like charge models.
