After describing non-perturbative methods in detail, it uses these methods to explore two-dimensional and four-dimensional gauge dynamics.

Aimed at graduate students and researchers, this book covers topics from two-dimensional conformal symmetry, affine Lie algebras, solitons, integrable models, bosonization, and 't Hooft model, to four-dimensional conformal invariance, integrability, large N expansion, Skyrme model, monopoles and instantons. Applications, first to simple field theories and gauge dynamics in two dimensions, and then to gauge theories in four dimensions and quantum chromodynamics in particular, are thoroughly described. 2023-07-19T14:17:09Z 2023-07-19T14:17:09Z 2010 book ONIX_20230719_9781009401654_10 9781009401654 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/64011 eng application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9781009401654.pdf Cambridge University Press 10.1017/9781009401654 10.1017/9781009401654 7607a2d0-47af-490f-9d2a-8c9340266f8a c2fbf30c-ef0f-473b-8ee4-03e135ae04d0 9781009401654 SCOAP3 for Books [...] SCOAP3 open access
