Focuses on the subject of quantum Yang-Mills theory. This book is suitable for advanced students and researchers learning the thermodynamically-grounded analytic approach to nonperturbative gauge theory, and its applications to a variety of terrestrial and astrophysical systems.

Ralf Hofmann postuliert, dass Wissen als Produkt der Unternehmensberatung anzusehen ist und infolgedessen einem Produktentwicklungs- und Produktlebenszyklus unterliegt. Auf dieser Basis zeigt er die Defizite im Umgang mit dem Produkt Wissen im Bereich der Unternehmensberatungen auf und formuliert Anforderungen an ein Konzept zum Einsatz von Wissensmanagement unter Berucksichtigung des Absatzmarkts."

This latest edition enhances the material of the first edition with a derivation of the value of the action for each of the Harrington-Shepard calorons/anticalorons that are relevant for the emergence of the thermal ground state. Also included are discussions of the caloron center versus its periphery, the role of the thermal ground state in U(1) wave propagation, photonic particle-wave duality, and calculational intricacies and book-keeping related to one-loop scattering of massless modes in the deconfining phase of an SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. Moreover, a derivation of the...
