内容概要

　　what happens when ordinary matter is so
greatly compressed that the electrons form a relativistic
degenerate gas, as in a white dwarf star? what happens when the
matter is compressed even further so that atomic nuclei overlap to
form superdense nuclear matter, as in a neutron star? what happens
when nuclear matter is heated to such great temperatures that the
nucleons and pions melt into quarks and gluons, as in high-energy
nuclear collisions? what happened in the spontaneous symmetry
break-ing of the unified theory of the weak and electromagnetic
interactions during the big bang? questions like these have
fascinated us for a long time. the purpose of this book is to
develop the fundamental principles and mathematical techniques that
enable the formulation of answers to these mind-boggling questions.
the study of matter under extreme con-ditions has blossomed into a
field of intense interdisciplinary activity and global extent. the
analysis of the collective behavior of interacting rela-tivistic
systems spans a rich palette of physical phenomena. one of the
ultimate goals of the whole program is to map out the phase diagram
of the standard model and its extensions.
　　 this text assumes that the reader has completed graduate level
courses in thermal and statistical physics and in relativistic
quantum field theory.our aims are to convey a coherent picture of
the field and to prepare the reader to read and understand the
original and current literature. the book is not, however, a
compendium of all known results; this would havemade it
prohibitively long. we start from the basic principles of
quantumfield theory, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics.
this develop-ment is most elegantly accomplished by means of
feynman's functionalintegral formalism. having a functional
integral expression for the parti-tion function allows a
straightforward derivation of diagrammatic rules for interacting
field theories. it also provides a framework for defining gauge
theories on finite lattices, which then enables integration by
monte carlo techniques. the formal aspects are illustrated with
applications drawn from fields of research that are close to the
authors' own experience. eachchapter carries its own exercises,
reference list, and select bibliography.the book is based on
finite-temperature field theory, written by one of us (jk) and
published in 1989. although the fundamental principles have not
changed, there have been many important developments since then,
necessitating a new book.
