This book introduces a large number of topics in lattice gauge theories, including analytical as well as numerical methods. It provides young physicists with the theoretical background and basic computational tools in order to be able to follow the extensive literature on the subject, and to carry out research on their own. Whenever possible, the basic ideas and technical inputs are demonstrated in simple examples, so as to avoid diverting the readers' attention from the main line of thought. Sufficient technical details are however given so that he can fill in the remaining details with the help of the cited literature without too much effort.This volume is designed for graduate students in theoretical elementary particle physics or statistical mechanics with a basic knowledge in Quantum Field Theory.
The path integral approach to quantization; the free scalar field on the lattice; fermions on the lattice; Abelian gauge fields on the lattice and compact QED; non Abelian gauge fields on the lattice and compact QCD; the Wilson-Wegner loop and the static Quark-Antiquark potential; the QQ-potential in some simple models; the continuum limit of lattice QCD; the strong coupling expansion; the weak coupling expansion I - the ph4-theory; weak coupling expansion II - lattice QED; weak coupling expansion III - lattice QCD; the hopping parameter expansion; Monte Carlo methods; some Monte Carlo results in quenched QCD; some recent MC results in full QCD; an introduction to finite temperature continuum field theory - the ph4-theory; lattice formulation of QCD at finite temperature; MC study of the deconfinement phase transition; the high temperature phase of QCD.
