Product Description
Review
"This book is clearly written and its content is explained so as to be understandable by anyone with a knowledge of the basics of quantum field theory. As an introductory text, it concentrates more on physical motivation and general principles, often avoiding more mathematically rigorous proofs where they might be confusing to the beginner ... it acts as a valuable starting point for anyone wishing to understand more about this subject." Mathematical Reviews "This book is of invaluable interest for scientists working in this area (gauge theories on lattices) and it is addressed mainly at the graduate students interested in particle physics. It can be also of interest for physicists working in statistical mechanics, since the lattice formulation of field theories resembles closely that of complex mechanical systems." Zentralblatt MATH

Book Description
The text introduces the reader to an area of theoretical elementary particle physics which has been the subject of intensive research since the 1970s. Its purpose is to provide graduate students with basic theoretical knowledge of quantum field theories, formulated on a time-space lattice, as well as the computational tools for carrying out research in this field. Special emphasis is placed on explaining in detail many concepts which students have problems with when atending for the first time a course on lattice guage field theories. The material covered should enable the reader to follow the vast amount of literature on this subject without too much difficulty.
