This book discusses the physical phases of quantum chromodynamics
(QCD) in ordinary environments, as well as in extreme environments
of high temperatures and high baryon number. Under such extreme
conditions, new phases are thought to exist: the quark-gluon plasma
and colour superconductivity. After introducing lattice-gauge
theory, beginning with fundamentals and reaching important
developments, this book emphasises the application of QCD to the
study of matter in extreme environments through a host of methods,
including lattice-gauge theory, lower dimensional model field
theories and effective Lagrangians. Suitable for graduate students
and researchers entering the field of lattice-gauge theory, heavy
ion collisions, nuclear theory or high energy phenomenology, as
well as astrophysicists interested in the phases of nuclear matter
and its impact on ideas of the interiors of dense stars. It is
suitable for use as a textbook on lattice-gauge theory, effective
Lagrangians and field theoretic modelling for nonperturbative
phenomena in QCD.
