A wide range of key topics is covered. In Volume 1, the first two chapters are devoted to quantum chromodynamics as the theory of hadrons. The author gives an in-depth discussion of a variety of powerful methods based on Wilson's operator product expansion. Chapter 3 (written together with V Novikov

✦ Synopsis
An introduction to the instanton formalism in supersymmetric gauge theories is given. We explain how the instanton calculations, in conjunction with analyticity in chiral parameters and other general properties following from supersymmetry, allow one to establish exact results in the weak and strong coupling regimes. Some key applications are reviewed, the main emphasis is put on the mechanisms of the dynamical breaking of supersymmetry.

Synopsis This book deals with systems possessing a infinite number of degrees in freedom. In this case the mathematics behind is well understood. The authors present it in a form accessible to a broad community of theoretical physicists. Various applications, including systems with Grassmann variab
Volume II is devoted to quantum field theory and statistical physics. It deals with systems with an infinite number of degrees of freedom. The full mathematical foundation is not yet completely established in this case. However, the path integral approach has proved extremely useful for the understa
