内容简介
This book is a slight extension of the third edition. Apart from some small additions to various sections, it contains a new extended section on Calorons in chapter 17, a topic that was only touched upon in the previous edition. Calorons are finite temperature instantons in the pure non-abelian SU(2) and SU(3) gauge theories, and have been the subject of intensive investigations in the past twelve years. As has been shown analytically, they possess very interesting properties, and appear to provide a connection between non-perturbative instanton like excitations, vortices and monopoles. Because they are excitations of the pure non-abelian gauge theories, they can also be studied in detailin ensembles of lattice gauge field configurations using conventional Monte Carlo methods, where their indirect role played for the confinement problem becomes visible. As always we have tried to present the material in a transparent way, avoiding mathematical details, which are quite complex, as well as details in the simulations, which are in fact quite subtle.
