Fundamental Constants in Effective Theory
Abstract
In the discussion between L.B. Okun, G. Veneziano, and M.J. Duff concerning the number of fundamental dimensionful constants in physics [9], they advocated, respectively, 3, 2, and 0 fundamental constants. Here, we consider this problem with an example of effective relativistic quantum field theory, which emerges in the low-energy corner of quantum liquids and which reproduces many features of our physics, including Lorentz invariance, chiral fermions, gauge fields, and dynamical gravity.
