Abstract

We now come to the basic theoretical problem: given QCD as strong interaction dynamics, derive strong interaction thermodynamics. After looking at some essential features of chromodynamics, we develop statistical QCD at finite temperature in the lattice formulation and discuss how it can be evaluated by computer simulation. We then use this method to study the thermodynamics of strongly interacting matter at vanishing baryon number density.

El universo (que otros llaman la biblioteca) – es ilimitado yperiódico. Si un eterno viajero le atravesara en qualquierdirección, comprobaria al cabo de los siglos que los mismosvolúmenes se repiten en el mismo desorden que, repetido, seriaun orden: el Orden. Jorge Luis Borges, La Biblioteca de Babel (The universe (which others call the library) – is unlimited andperiodic. If an eternal voyager were to traverse it in anydirection, he would find, after many centuries, that the samevolumes are repeated in the same disorder which, sincerepeated, would be an order: order itself.) ( Jorge Luis Borges, The Library of Babel)
