Power counting is a systematic method used in the context of renormalisation in quantum field theory. It involves analyzing the dimensions of various terms in a Lagrangian to determine their significance in perturbative expansions. This technique helps identify which terms contribute at leading order and which can be neglected, thereby simplifying calculations. The discussion references a specific lecture that provides further insights into the application of power counting in renormalisation.
