Develops the techniques of perturbative QCD in pedagogical detail starting with field theory. Providing a comprehensive introduction to gauge theories, this book offers extensive treatments of the renormalization group technique, the operator product expansion formalism and their applications to short-distance reactions.

Starting from Boltzmann's formula, this text formulates the microcanonical thermodynamics entirely within the frame of mechanics. Attention is given to the fragmentation of nuclei and atomic clusters as a peculiar phase transition of small systems controll

In this book, distributions are introduced via sequences of functions. This approach due to Temple has two virtues: The Fourier transform is defined for functions and generalized to distributions, while the Green function is defined as the outstanding application of distributions. Using Fourier transforms, the Green functions of the important linear differential equations in physics are computed. Linear algebra is reviewed with emphasis on Hilbert spaces. The author explains how linear differential operators and Fourier transforms naturally fit into this frame, a point of view that leads...
