Quarks, Gluons and Lattices

This book introduces the lattice approach to quantum field theory. Other topics include invariant group integration, duality, mean field theory and renormalization group techniques.

• 1 The spectacular successes of this technique include compelling evidence that exchange of gauge gluons can confine the quarks within subnuclear matter.
• 2 The lattice framework enables novel schemes for quantitative calculation and has caused considerable cross-disciplinary activity between elementary particle and solid state physicists.
• 3 The treatment begins with the lattice definition of a path integral and ends on Monte Carlo simulation methods.

This work deepens our understanding of the fundamental laws governing the universe, from subatomic particles to cosmic structures.
