内容摘要:

This volume describes the advances in the quantum theory of fields that have led to an understanding of the electroweak and strong interactions of the elementary particles. These interactions have all turned out to be governed by principles of gauge invariance, so we start here in Chapters 15-17 with gauge theories, generalizing the familiar gauge invariance of electrodynamics to non-Abelian Lie groups.
  Some of the most dramatic aspects of gauge theories appear at high energy, and are best studied by the methods of the renormalization group. These methods are introduced in Chapter 18, and applied to quantum chromodynamics, the modern non-Abelian gauge theory of strong interactions, and also to critical phenomena in condensed matter physics. Chapter 19 deals with general spontaneously broken global symmetries, and their application to the broken approximate SU(2) x SU(2) and SU(3) x S U(3) symmetries of quantum chromodynamics. Both the renormalization group method and broken symmetries find some of their most interesting applications in the context of operator product expansions, discussed in Chapter 20.
  The key to the understanding of the electroweak interactions is the spontaneous breaking of gauge symmetries, which are explored in Chap-ter 21 and applied to superconductivity as well as to the electroweak interactions. Quite apart from spontaneous symmetry breaking is the possibility of symmetry breaking by quantum-mechanical effects known as anomalies. Anomalies and various of their physical implications are presented in Chapter 22. This volume concludes with a discussion in Chapter 23 of extended field configurations, which can arise either as new ingredients in physical states, such as skyrmions, monopoles, or vortex lines, or as non-perturbative quantum corrections to path integrals, where anomalies play a crucial role.
