This book contains many topics on the nonperturbative aspects of quantum field theory, including gauge theories, QCD vacuum and confinement, chiral symmetry bre

Since the advent of Yang–Mills theories and supersymmetry in the 1970s, quantum field theory - the basis of the modern description of physical phenomena at th

The problem of quark confinement is one of the classic unsolved problems of particle physics and is fundamental to our understanding of the physics of the stron

During the last three decades supersymmetry has grown into one of the busiest theoretical avenues of particle physics. Supersymmetric ideas dominate the scenari

Surveys the monopole problem on a few different levels, from classical electrodynamics up to N=2 SUSY Yang-Mills theory. and presents a compact, `bird's eye vie
