- More about Effective Field Theories
Effective field theories of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) in the light quark sector are discussed, with an emphasis on flavour symmetries and their realizations. Different types of effective field theories are considered and applied, and the formulation of effective field theories in a finite volume is covered. The book is intended for graduate students and researchers in particle physics, hadron physics, and nuclear physics, with exercises and solutions available to lecturers.

Effective field theories hold immense significance across numerous branches of physics, serving as a versatile tool for understanding complex physical phenomena. In this comprehensive volume, we delve into the foundations and fundamentals of effective field theories in quantum chromodynamics (QCD), particularly focusing on the light quark sector. Our emphasis lies in exploring flavor symmetries and their realization, which play a pivotal role in shaping the behavior of matter at the atomic level.
To accomplish this, we examine a diverse range of effective field theories tailored to different energy scales. We discuss their theoretical underpinnings, mathematical formulations, and practical applications. Moreover, we explore the formulation of effective field theories within a finite volume, a crucial step in analyzing lattice QCD data, a powerful tool for studying the strong force.
Designed with graduate students and researchers in particle physics, hadron physics, and nuclear physics in mind, this book offers a comprehensive exploration of the field. It includes a wealth of exercises designed to deepen the reader's understanding of the topics covered, accompanied by comprehensive solutions available to lecturers. By delving into the complexities of effective field theories, this book provides a valuable resource for those seeking to advance their knowledge in these critical areas of contemporary physics.
