This volume contains the contributions to the INTERNATIONAL SUMMER
INSTITUTE ON THEORETICAL PHYSICS 1980 held from September 1st to
September 12th in Bad Honnef, Germany. This Institute was organized
by Wuppertal University. It was the eleventh in a series of Summer
Schools on particle physics carried out by German Universities. The
Institute was aimed to review the present status of gauge theories
in elementary particle physics, with emphasis both on the
phenomenological and formal aspects. The first part of the volume
covers the recent progress in the development of perturbative
methods both in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and flavor dynamics
(QFD). Applications to available data from electron positron
storage rings and deep inelastic scattering are discussed. The
second part presents new results on classical solutions and
non-perturbative methods in gauge theories and related field
theories like non linear a-models. A very topical account is given
on the application of Monte Carlo methods within lattice gauge
theories. At present these methods appear to be the most promising
technique to establish the quark confinement hypothesis within the
framework of non-Abelian gauge theories. The volume is closed with
a progress report on the present understanding of sup rgravity and
its relation to grand unification schemes. The lectures on Grand
Unified Theories given by Dr. D. V. Nanopoulos at the Bad Honnef
meeting can be found in the proceedings of the 1980 Rencontre de
Moriond (Ed. J. Tran Thanh Van)."
