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.
