Non-Perturbhative QCD
— Structure of the QCD Vacuum —
Proceedings of the 8th Yukawa International Seminar
Edited by Ken-Ichi Aoki, Osamu Miyamura and Tsuneo Suzuki
The non-perturbative analysis of the Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD),
particularly structure of the QCD vacuum, is one of the most
fundamental subjects in theoretical high energy physics.
To understand basic mechanisms of the quark confinement,
the chiral symmetry breaking, finite temperature phase
transition have been studied extensively by numerical
simulation of the lattice QCD.
Recently there appear new progress in rigorous argument using
supersymmetric QCD and in analysis by the
non-perturbative renormalization group.
The duality and topological objects play essential roles in
these issues and we expect great development of the near future.
This volume contains the proceedings of the 1997 Yukawa
International Seminar on `Non-perturbative QCD — Structure of
the QCD Vacuum —' held at Yukawa Institute for Theoretical
Physics in December 1997.
Researchers from various fields gathered together to
give lectures for each other and then to
discuss new topics. These lectures start from the very
introduction of lattice simulation, renormalization group,
supersymmetry, topological objects,
finite temperature, etc., and they finally lead to recent developments
of various topics. Therefore this volume is very much appropriate for
young students coming into theoretical high energy physics,
and also it gives good reviews of the present status and
future prospects to every researchers.
