``Stability of nonrelativistic QED with cutoffs''
Abstract: Nonrelativistic QED treats quantized electrons, point nuclei,
and photons. A few years ago at MIT I explained why the value of the
fine structure constant is crucial for the stability of the theory.
Today's lecture explains why the value of the fine structure constant
makes no difference.
