Klappentext zu „An Introduction to the Confinement Problem “
This book addresses the confinement problem, which quite generally deals with the behavior of non-abeliangauge theories, and the force which is mediated by gauge fields, at large distances.The word "confinement" in the context of hadronic physics originallyreferred to the fact that quarks and gluons appear to be trapped inside mesons andbaryons, from which they cannot escape. There are other, and possibly deeper meaningsthat can be attached to the term, and these will be explored in this book. Althoughthe confinement problem is far from solved, much is now known about thegeneral features of the confining force, and there are a number of very well motivated theories of confinement which are under activeinvestigation. This volume gives a both pedagogical and concise introduction and overview of the main ideas in thisfield, their attractive features, and, as appropriate, their shortcomings.

Rezension zu „An Introduction to the Confinement Problem “
From the reviews:"The author presumably realized that, with not much effort and starting from those notes, he could write a diluted and more accessible version expanding and updating the material. This excellent book on confinement is the result. ... This is indeed a very good book. I enjoyed reading it and ... I learned a lot from it. ... It is definitely a research book that provides readers with a guide to the most updated confinement models." (Giuseppe Nardelli, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 d)"This volume gives both a pedagogical and a concise, correct introduction along with an overview of the main ideas involved in such an important area, their fascinating features as well as some limitations. The book is beautifully produced with special emphasis on the relevance of center symmetry and lattice formulation as well as an introduction to current research on confinement." (Paninjukunnath Achuthan, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1217, 2011)
