Dynamical Symmetry Breaking - Proceedings Of The 1991 Nagoya Spring School


Book Description

This is the first systematic volume which presents a detailed introduction to every facet of the modern version of Dynamical Symmetry Breaking which has been rapidly developed in recent years. Most of the lectures are given by pioneers in this new field and are geared mainly to the level of second year graduate students.




Electroweak Symmetry Breaking - Proceedings Of The International Workshop


Book Description

The papers presented here focus on new developments in both theoretical and phenomenological aspects of standard theory, with an emphasis on understanding of the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking. This workshop covers the formal aspects and the related new models of electroweak symmetry breaking and the present status of the Standard Model.




Perspectives Of Strong Coupling Gauge Theories: Proceedings Of The 1996 International Workshop


Book Description

This is the proceedings of the third Nagoya workshop on Strong Coupling Gauge Theories (SCGT), after SCGT 88 and SCGT 90. As a tradition of the Nagoya SCGT workshops, the focus is on dynamical symmetry breaking with particular emphasis on the nontrivial fixed points and/or large anomalous dimension, which was actually the basis of walking technicolor, strong ETC technicolor and top quark condensate, etc. Special attention is also paid to the fixed point structure in supersymmetric gauge theories, which has recently been highlighted through duality arguments.




Extended Objects And Bound Systems: From Relativistic Description To Phenomenological Application - Proceedings Of The International Symposium


Book Description

Counterfeiting, which has emerged as a recent global phenomenon, has arisen due to economic liberalisation, the changing nature of society and new competitive structures. Branding has become an increasingly important area of research in marketing as well as a crucial decision-making area in strategic marketing management. Counterfeit-related activities challenge the existing theoretical and methodological framework in many ways, particularly consumer behavior and branding. This book brings together the three areas — counterfeiting, branding and consumer behaviour — within a very robust methodological and statistical modelling framework.

Thermal Field Theories And Their Applications - Proceedings Of The 4th International Workshop


Book Description

Thermal field theory is the study of quantum field theory at non-zero temperature. This proceedings introduces both retrospect and prospect for various aspects of thermal field theory as well as their extensive applications to condensed matter physics, high energy physics, cosmology, nuclear physics, etc. Also included are speeches memorizing the recently lamented Professor Hiroomi Umezawa, a leading physicist in thermal field theory, by his former students and colleagues.
