{"product_id":"large-nc-qcd-2004-jose-luis-goity-9789812563996","title":"Large NC QCD 2004 - Proceedings of the Workshop","description":"The large Nc limit plays a fundamental role in the study of non-abelian gauge theories such as quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Since its discovery in 1974 by 't Hooft, the 1\/Nc expansion has provided crucial insights into the non-perturbative aspects of gauge theories. The expansion implemented at the effective theory level is one of the fundamental tools currently in use in hadronic physics; there are important effects and relations that follow from the 1\/Nc expansion, which held remarkably well in the real world with Nc= 3. The 1\/Ncexpansion also plays a central role in the recently discovered connections between non-Abelian gauge and string theories, promising new ways to analyze the non-perturbative domain of gauge theories.This volume contains contributions from leading theorists and covers the recent developments in the 1\/Nc expansion in QCD. The topics addressed include confinement, AdS\/CFT correspondence and the string-QCD connection, topology in large Nc, lattice QCD, and a variety of applications to mesons and baryons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e JOSE Luis Goity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9812563997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789812563996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/08\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 5.42w x 0.89d","brand":"JOSE Luis Goity","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448120979711,"sku":"9789812563996","price":209.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f0cf36e0-59c7-45f1-be88-ea113b3b74de.jpg?v=1777237038","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/large-nc-qcd-2004-jose-luis-goity-9789812563996","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
