Strong Coupling Gauge Theories and Effective Field Theories : proceedings of the 2002 International Workshop, Nagoya University, Japan, 10-13 December 2002

This volume presents the important recent progress in both theoretical and phenomenological issues of strong coupling gauge theories, with/without supersymmetry and extra dimensions, etc. Emphasis is placed on dynamical symmetry breaking with large anomalous dimensions governed by the dynamics near the nontrivial fixed point. Also presented are recent developments of the corresponding effective field theories, such as those including light spectra other than the Nambu–Goldstone particles. This book is a must for all those who are interested in dynamical symmetry breaking and effective field theories in a modern version.
