This book introduces the reader to an area of elementary particle physics which has been the subject of intensive research in the past two decades. It provides graduate students with the basic theoretical background on quantum gauge field theories formulated on a space-time lattice, and with the computational tools for carrying out research in this field. The book is a substantially extended version of the first edition which appeared in 1992. Much effort has been invested to present the material in a transparent way, and in exemplifying subtle points in simple models. The material covered should enable the reader to follow the vast literature on the subject without too much difficulties. Hopefully the book will motivate young physicists to carry out research in this area of elementary particle physics.
The path integral approach to quantization; the free Scalar field on the Lattice; fermions on the Lattice; Abelian gauge fields on the Lattice and compact QED; non-Abelian gauge fields on the Lattice, compact QCD; the Wilson Loop and the static quark-antiquark potential; the QQ potential in some simple models; the continuum limit of Lattice QCD; Lattice action and energy sum rules; strong coupling expansion; the Hopping parameter; expansion; weak coupling expansion (I); weak coupling expansion (II) - Lattice QED; weak coupling expansion (III) - Lattice QCD; Monte Carlo methods; some results of Monte Carlo calculations; introduction to finite temperature field theory - path integral representation of the partition function; finite temperature perturbation theory off and on the Lattice; non-perturbative QCD at finite temperature; the high temperature phase of QCD.
