Quantum Chromodynamics
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the fundamental theory of
strong interactions. We are mainly interested
to study QCD in its nonperturbative domain.
A variety of approaches which respect the fundamental symmetries of
QCD have been constructed and applied to the study of the phase
transition which restores chiral symmetry in hot matter. These
studies, which include effective Lagrangians and random matrix theory,
permit detailed comparison with and interpretations of
the results of lattice gauge simulations. QCD sum rule techniques
permit the extension of results from the perturbative to the
non-perturbative sector of QCD and lead to predictions for the
modification of hadronic properties at high temperature and density.
