Phases of QCD
Thomas Schaefer
In these lectures we provide an introduction to the phase structure of QCD. We begin with a brief discussion of QCD, the symmetries of QCD, and what we mean by a ``phase of QCD''.…
Instantons and Monte Carlo Methods in Quantum Mechanics
Thomas Schaefer
In these lectures we describe the use of Monte Carlo simulations in understanding the role of tunneling events, instantons, in a quantum mechanical toy model. We study, in particul…
Loops and Power Counting in the High Density Effective Field Theory
Thomas Schaefer
We introduce the high density effective theory of QCD. We discuss, in particular, the problem of developing a consistent power counting scheme.
Quark Matter
Thomas Schaefer
In these lectures we provide an introduction to the theory of QCD at very high baryon density. We begin with a review of some aspects of quantum many-body system that are relevant…
