Opis

At the core of this book lies the sum rule approach to obtain analytic results in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the current theory of strong interactions among quarks and gluons. This method fully complements Lattice QCD, the corresponding computational approach based on discretizing QCD on a space-time lattice.

Recenzje

"This book is intended for readers with good knowledge of quantum field theory and quantum chromodynamics (QCD). It is addressed to readers planning to start research in QCD in the frame work of sum rules. ... The five appendixes describe dressed propagators, correlators and spectral functions. Overall a very useful book for researchers." (T. C. Mohan, zbMATH 1405.81007, 2019)
