Book excerpt: The symposium and workshop OC Continuous Advances in QCD / ArkadyfestOCO was the fifth in the series of meetings organized by the William I Fine Theoretical Physics Institute at the University of Minnesota. This meeting brought together leading researchers in high-energy physics to exchange the latest ideas in QCD and gauge theories at strong coupling at large. It honored the 60th birthday of Professor Arkady Vainshtein, and the papers included in this proceedings volume also look back on the history of the subjects in which Arkady played such a central role: applications of PCAC, penguins, invisible axions, QCD sum rules, exact beta functions, condensates in supersymmetry, powerful heavy quark expansions, and new anomalies in 2D SUSY theories. The current status of these subjects was summarized in several excellent presentations that also outlined a historical perspective. A number of papers from leading researchers in the field present new developments and ideas in modern areas of study, such as the cosmological constant problem in extra-dimension theories, supersymmetric monopoles, solitons and confinement, AdS/CFT correspondence, and high density QCD. Contents: Perturbative and Nonperturbative QCD: Electromagnetic Form Factor of the Pion (H Leutwyler); Multiple Uses of the QCD Instantons (E V Shuryak); CP-Violation and Mixing in Charmed Mesons (A A Petrov); General Aspects of QCD and the Standard Model: Probing New Physics: From Charm to Superstrings (M K Gaillard); Dynamics of QCD in a Strong Magnetic Field (V A Miransky); On Mixed Phases in Gauge Theories (V L Chernyak); Gauge Dynamics at High Temperature and Density: What QCD Tells Us About Nature (F Wilczek); Domain Walls and Strings in Dense Quark Matter (A R Zhitnitsky); Topological Field Configurations, Dynamics in Supersymmetric Models, and Theoretical Issues: Non-Abelian Monopoles, Vortices and Confinement (K Konishi); Nonperturbative Solution of Supersymmetric Gauge Theories (J R Hiller); Testing ADS/CFT Correspondence with Wilson Loops (K Zarembo); Cosmology and Axions: Axions: Past, Present, and Future (M Srednicki); QCD Vacuum and Axions: What''s Happening?

Download or read book Quantum Field Theory written by Mark Srednicki and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-25 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantum field theory is the basic mathematical framework that is used to describe elementary particles. This textbook provides a complete and essential introduction to the subject. Assuming only an undergraduate knowledge of quantum mechanics and special relativity, this book is ideal for graduate students beginning the study of elementary particles. The step-by-step presentation begins with basic concepts illustrated by simple examples, and proceeds through historically important results to thorough treatments of modern topics such as the renormalization group, spinor-helicity methods for quark and gluon scattering, magnetic monopoles, instantons, supersymmetry, and the unification of forces. The book is written in a modular format, with each chapter as self-contained as possible, and with the necessary prerequisite material clearly identified. It is based on a year-long course given by the author and contains extensive problems, with password protected solutions available to lecturers at www.cambridge.org/9780521864497.

Download or read book Zeta Regularization Techniques with Applications written by E. Elizalde and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1994 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of several years of work by the authors on different aspects of zeta functions and related topics. The aim is twofold. On one hand, a considerable number of useful formulas, essential for dealing with the different aspects of zeta-function regularization (analytic continuation, asymptotic expansions), many of which appear here, in book format, for the first time are presented. On the other hand, the authors show explicitly how to make use of such formulas and techniques in practical applications to physical problems of very different nature. Virtually all types of zeta functions are dealt with in the book.

Download or read book Self Dual Chern Simons Theories written by Gerald Dunne and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-02-13 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-duality greatly reduces the mathematical difficulties of a theory but it is also a notion of considerable physical significance. The new class of self-dual Chern-Simons theories discussed in detail in this book arise in the context of anyonic quantum field theory and have applications to models such as the quantum Hall effect, anyonic superconductivity, and Aharonov-Bohm scattering. There are also interesting connections with the theory of integrable models. The author presents the abelian and non-abelian models for relativistic and non-relativistic realizations of the self-dual Chern-Simons theories and finishes with some applications in quantum physics. The book is written for advanced students and researchers in mathematical, particle, and condensed matter physics.

Download or read book Quantum Field Theory Ii written by Misha Shifman and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook grew out of lecture notes the author used in delivering a quantum field theory (QFT) course for students (both in high energy physics and condensed matter) who already had an initial exposure to the subject.It begins with the path integral method of quantization presented in a systematic and clear-cut manner. Perturbation theory is generalized beyond tree level, to include radiative corrections (loops). Renormalization procedures and the Wilsonian renormalization group (RG flow) are discussed, asymptotic freedom of non-Abelian gauge theories is derived, and some applications in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) are considered, with a brief digression into the Standard Model (SM). The SM case requires a study of the spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetry, a phenomenon which would be more appropriate to call 'Higgsing of the gauge bosons.' Other regimes attainable in gauge theories are explained as well. In the condensed matter part, the Heisenberg and Ising model are discussed. The present textbook differs from many others in that it is relatively concise and, at the same time, teaches students to carry out actual calculations which they may encounter in QFT-related applications.

Download or read book Singularities of Differentiable Maps Volume 2 written by Elionora Arnold and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-05-16 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​​The present volume is the second in a two-volume set entitled Singularities of Differentiable Maps. While the first volume, subtitled Classification of Critical Points and originally published as Volume 82 in the Monographs in Mathematics series, contained the zoology of differentiable maps, that is, it was devoted to a description of what, where, and how singularities could be encountered, this second volume concentrates on elements of the anatomy and physiology of singularities of differentiable functions. The questions considered are about the structure of singularities and how they function.
