Methods and Techniques in Non-Perturbative QFT

Di Pietro Lorenzo - Università di Trieste

 
  Syllabus  
 
- Introduction: field theories in d<4, large N;

- O(N) model: massive phases and CFT in d=3, absence of symmetry breaking in d=2;

- Gross-Neveu model: massive phases and CFT in d=3, symmetry breaking in d=2;

- QCD with fundamental matter in d=2: 't Hooft solution;

- QCD with adjoint matter in d=2: recent developments.
