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 y periódico. Si un eterno viajero le atravesara en qualquier dirección, comprobaria al cabo de los siglos que los mismos volúmenes se repiten en el mismo desorden (que, repetido, seria un orden: el Orden).

Jorge Luis Borges, La Biblioteca de Babel

[The universe (which others call the library) – is unlimited and periodic. If an eternal voyager were to traverse it in any direction, he would find, after many centuries, that the same volumes are repeated in the same disorder (which, since repeated, would be an order: order itself).

Jorge Luis Borges, The Library of Babel]
