Quantum chromodynamics is the fundamental theory of strong
interactions. It is a physical theory describing Nature. Lectures
on Quantum Chromodynamics concentrates, however, not on the
phenomenological aspect of QCD; books with comprehensive coverage
of phenomenological issues have been written. What the reader will
find in this book is a profound discussion on the theoretical
foundations of QCD with emphasis on the nonperturbative formulation
of the theory: What is gauge symmetry on the classical and on the
quantum level? What is the path integral in field theory? How to
define the path integral on the lattice, keeping intact as many
symmetries of the continuum theory as possible? What is the QCD
vacuum state? What is the effective low energy dynamics of QCD? How
do the ITEP sum rules work? What happens if we heat and/or squeeze
hadronic matter? Perturbative issues are also discussed: How to
calculate Feynman graphs? What is the BRST symmetry? What is the
meaning of the renormalization procedure? How to resum infrared and
collinear singularities? And so on.The book is an outgrowth of the
course of lectures given by the author for graduate students at
ITEP in Moscow. Much extra material has been added.
