This is a selfcontained introduction to perturbative and nonperturbative quantum chromodynamics.

The book presents the necessary mathematical tools together with many examples and worked problems.

This book is intended for newcomers to the field and presents a clear and easy-to-follow path from the first principles all the way to actual calculations.

This volume owes its existence to a founding father of QCD, Professor Vladimir N Gribov, whose sudden demise prevented him from directly contributing to its final edition.

Filling a gap in the current literature, this book is the first entirely dedicated to high energy quantum chromodynamics (QCD) including parton saturation and the color glass condensate (CGC).

The book contains lectures on the physics of hot dense matter, the expected phase transitions and colour superconductivity, recent developments in the treatment of nonlinear effects at large parton densities, fundamental issues in the ...
