Sumario:Quantum Chromodynamics is the theory of strong interactions: a quantum field theory of Yang-Mills gauge fields coupled to fermion (quark) fields. Discretizing spacetime into a four-dimensional lattice leads to defining gauge fields and fermions on a lattice. The applications of lattice gauge theory are vast, from the study of high-energy theory and phenomenology to the numerical studies of quantum fields. Lattice Gauge Fields and Fermions: Selected Topics examines the mathematical foundations of lattice gauge theory from first principles. It is indispensable for the study of lattice gauge fields and fermions and lays the foundation for the more advanced and specialized study.
