The Phases of Quantum Chromodynamicsby John B. Kogut; Mikhail A. Stephanov; T. Ericson; P. Y. Landshoff
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 45.00This book discusses the physical phases of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) in ordinary environments and also in extreme environments of high temperatures and high baryon number. It introduces lattice gauge theory, covering fundamentals and important recent developments, and emphasizes the application of QCD to the study of matter in extreme environments. more...
The QCD Vacuum, Hadrons And Superdense Matter 2nd Editionby Edward V Shuryak
World Scientific 2004; US$ 131.30This invaluable book is an extensive set of lecture notes on various aspects of non-perturbative quantum chromodynamics the fundamental theory of strong interaction on which nuclear and hadronic physics is based. The original edition of the book, written in the mid-1980's, had more of a review style. more...

Hadronic Physics From Lattice Qcdby Anthony M Green
World Scientific 2004; US$ 114.00Particle and nuclear physicists frequently take results from Lattice QCD at their face value without probing into their reliability or sophistication. This attitude usually stems from a lack of knowledge of the field. The aim of the present volume is to rectify this by introducing in an elementary way several topics, which we believe are appropriate for, and of possible interest to, both particle and nuclear physicists who are non-experts in the field. more...
Large Nc Qcd 2004 - Proceedings Of The Workshopby J. L. Goity; R F Lebed; A Pich
World Scientific 2005; US$ 148.00The large Nc limit plays a fundamental role in the study of non-abelian gauge theories such as quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Since its discovery in 1974 by ?t Hooft, the 1/Nc expansion has provided crucial insights into the non-perturbative aspects of gauge theories. The expansion implemented at the effective theory level is one of the fundamental tools currently in use in hadronic physics; there are important effects and relations that follow from the 1/Nc expansion, which held remarkably well in the real world with Nc = 3. The 1/Nc expansion also plays a central role in the recently discovered connections between non-Abelian gauge and string theories, promising new ways to analyze the non-perturbative domain of gauge theories. This volume... more...
QCD and Numerical Analysis IIIby Artan Boriçi; Andreas Frommer; Bálint Joó
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 109.00This book reports on progress in numerical methods for Lattice QCD with chiral fermions. It contains a set of pedagogical introductory articles written by experts from both the Applied Mathematics and Lattice Field Theory communities, together with detailed accounts of leading-edge algorithms for the simulation of overlap chiral fermions. Topics covered include: QCD simulations in the chiral regime; Evaluation and approximation of matrix functions; Krylov subspace methods for the iterative solution of linear systems; Eigenvalue solvers. These are complemented by a set of articles on closely related numerical and technical problems in Lattice field Theory. more...
Superdense QCD Matter and Compact Starsby David Blaschke; David Sedrakian
Springer 2006; US$ 219.00Covers the main topics in the theory of superdense QCD matter and its application to the astrophysics of compact stars. This book deals with the question whether hypothetical states of dense matter in the compact star interior could give clues to the explanation of puzzling phenomena such as gamma-ray bursts, and pulsar glitches. more...
Continuous Advances In Qcd 2006by M Peloso; M Shifman
World Scientific 2007; US$ 185.90The volume contains the proceedings of the workshop Continuous Advances in QCD 2006, hosted by the Wiliam I Fine Theoretical Physics Institute. This biennial workshop was the seventh meeting of the series, held at the University of Minnesota since 1994. The workshop gathered together about 110 scientists (a record number for the event), including most of the leading experts in quantum chromodynamics and non-Abelian gauge theories in general. more...
Chromatic Monitoring of Complex Conditionsby Gordon Rees Jones
Taylor & Francis 2008; US$ 119.95Using a practical approach, this book introduces the role of chromaticity, its origins, and its basic methodology. It provides an understanding of advanced chromatic concepts and illustrates how to monitor emerging phenomena with basic chromaticity. It presents various applications for chromatic methods, such as biological tissue monitoring. more...
