| Abstract
|
:
|
This book discusses the physical phases of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) in ordinary environments and also in extreme environments of high temperatures and high baryon number. It introduces lattice gauge theory, covering fundamentals and important recent developments, and emphasizes the application of QCD to the study of matter in extreme environments.
