General Motivation
General Motivation
In this unit we plan to cover material relevant for the study of strong interactions in extreme conditions of temperature and densities, with and without magnetic fields. One would learn how to define the theory at finite temperature and densities, and how to study the relevant phases, and phase transitions. A contemporary set of results will be presented as well.
