| spelling | oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/17085 Introduction to lattice gauge theories La Cock, Pierre Cleymans, Jean Theoretical Physics Gauge fields (Physics) Lattice theory Quantum chromodynamics Includes bibliographical references. The thesis is organized as follows. Part I is a general introduction to LGT. The theory is discussed from first principles, so that for the interested reader no previous knowledge is required, although it is assumed that he/she will be familiar with the rudiments of relativistic quantum mechanics. Part II is a review of QCD on the lattice at finite temperature and density. Monte Carlo results and analytical methods are discussed. An attempt has been made to include most relevant data up to the end of 1987, and to update some earlier reviews existing on the subject. To facilitate an understanding of the techniques used in LGT, provision has been made in the form of a separate Chapter on Group Theory and Integration, as well as four Appendices, one of which deals with Grassmann variables and integration. 2016-02-17T07:17:14Z 2016-02-17T07:17:14Z 1988 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/17085 eng application/pdf Department of Physics Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
