International Symposium on Quantum Chromodynamics and Color Confinement, CONFINEMENT 2000

Download or read book International Symposium on Quantum Chromodynamics and Color Confinement, CONFINEMENT 2000 written by Hideo Suganuma and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2001 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quark confinement mechanism is one of the most difficult problems in particle physics, and is listed as the 7 difficult mathematical problems of the new millennium. The first person who first solves this problem will be awarded a prize of US$ 1 Million by Cray Mathematics Institute. This volume is useful for the systematic understanding of quark confinement and nonperturbative aspects of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) from the wide viewpoints of mathematical physics, lattice QCD physics and quark-hadron physics. It covers the current studies of nonperturbative QCD: quark confinement mechanism; topologies in QCD (instantons, monopoles and vortices); BRS quartet mechanism for color confinement; lattice QCD calculations for quarks, gluons and hadrons; dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and hadrons.
