Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 530.143 23 H711
Contents:
1. The classical Yang-Mills action-- 2. The perturbative approach at zero temperature-- 3. Aspects of finite-temperature field theory-- 4. Selfdual field configurations-- 5. The deconfining phase-- 6. The preconfining phase-- 7. The confining phase-- 8. The approach of thermal lattice gauge theory-- 9. Black-body anomaly-- 10. Astrophysical and cosmological implications-- References-- Indexes.
Summary: This book aims to provide advanced students and researchers with the text on a nonperturbative, thermodynamically grounded, and largely analytical approach to four-dimensional Quantum Gauge Theory. It also covers terrestrial, astrophysical, and cosmological applications, mostly within the realm of low-temperature photon physics.
