The current understanding of the behavior of quantum chromodynamics at finite temperature
is presented. Perturbative methods are used to explore the high-temperature dynamics. At …

The present knowledge of QCD confining forces between static test charges is summarised,
with an emphasis on lattice results. Recent developments in relating QCD potentials to …

Many numerical predictions of experimental phenomena in particle physics are made
possible by exploiting the discovery that simplifications can happen when phenomena are …

The most non-trivial of the established microscopic theories of physics is quantum
chromodynamics, QCD, the theory of the strong interaction. A critical link between theory …

Quantum field theory describes basic physical phenomena over an extremely wide range of
length or energy scales. Quantum fields exist in space and time, which can be approximated …

This book introduces the lattice approach to quantum field theory. The spectacular
successes of this technique include compelling evidence that exchange of gauge gluons …

This book provides a broad introduction to gauge field theories formulated on a space-time
lattice, and in particular of QCD. It serves as a textbook for advanced graduate students, and …

In this paper we show that the apparent failure of QCD lattice perturbation theory to account
for Monte Carlo measurements of perturbative quantities results from choosing the bare …

This review consists of two parts, the phenomenology of non-relativistic potential models
and the theoretical understanding of the forces between quarks. The first part reports on the …

The method of paper (I) of this series is applied to the O (N) non-linear sigma model. Due to
the use of non-manifestly invariant perturbation theory the improvement part of the action …
