Quantum chromodynamics sum rules (Q1991700)

This book is intended for readers with good knowledge of quantum field theory and quantum chromodynamics (QCD). It is addressed to readers planning to start research in QCD in the frame work of sum rules. The topics discussed in this book concern mostly QCD at zero temperature. A last chapter on finite temperature QCD sum rules has been given. Other topics discussed are renormalization group equation, hadronic spectral functions, determination of strong coupling, chiral sum rules, gluon condensate, quark matter and anomalous magnetic moment of muon. The five appendixes describe dressed propagators, correlators and spectral functions. Overall a very useful book for researchers.
