Universal behaviour of the SU(2) running coupling constant in the continuum limit

Abstract

We present data from the ALPHA Collaboration about lattice calculation of SU(2) pure--gauge running coupling constant, obtained with two different definitions of the coupling itself, which show universality of the continuum limit and clarify the applicability of renormalized perturbation theory.Comment: 3 pages, postscript, contribution to LAT94 also available at http://sutova.roma2.infn.it/preprints/TovApe/lat94m.ps (eq.
