This volume summarizes our contemporary understanding of the deconfinement transition in QCD at finite temperature and chemical potential. Questions as to wheth

This book makes a global survey of nonperturbative aspects of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) from the viewpoints of mathematical, elementary-particle and hadron p

This volume discusses the exciting physics with new accelerator facilities, which are being constructed or proposed in various places. The facilities are RHIC (

The purpose of this workshop is to discuss the various pictures of color confinement and its consequences on the properties of hadrons. We consider color confin

The contributions in this conference proceeding present an alternative approach to solving the Quantum Field Theory problem using the variational approach. Many
