Non-perturbative Qcd And Center Vortices

This book describes non-perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD) in ways accessible to graduate students and researchers who know some textbook fundamentals of QCD.Although QCD has long been the accepted theory of interactions involving quarks and gluons, there is still controversy over how to explain fundamental non-perturbative aspects such as confinement and chiral symmetry breakdown. This book gives a picture of the leading contender for understanding non-perturbative QCD, through cent...
