Non-perturbative field theory : from two-dimensional conformal field theory to QCD in four dimensions /
"Providing a new perspective on quantum field theory, this book gives a pedagogical and up-to-date exposition of non-perturbative methods in relativistic quantum field theory and introduces the reader to modern research work in theoretical physics. It describes in detail non-perturbative method...
