The origin of mass and strong coupling gauge theories: proceedings of the 2006 International Workshop, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan, 21-24 November 2006

This volume includes discussion on new dynamical features in the light of (deconstruted/latticized) extra dimensions, holographic QCD, Moose/hidden local symmetry, and so on. New insights into the QCD as a prototype of strong coupling gauge theories as well as in its own right, particularly in hot and dense matter are included. Content: The String in an Excited Baryon (G 't Hooft) Mesons and Baryons from String Theory (S Sugimoto) Toy Model for Mixing of Two Chiral Nonets (J M Schechter) Strongly Interacting Matter at RHIC (C Nonaka) QED Corrections to Hadron and Quark Masses (Y Namekawa) Little Higgs M-Theory (H-C Cheng) A One-Family ETC Model with Top Condensation (H Fukano) Turnaround in Cyclic Cosmology (P H Frampton) Large Gauge Hierarchy in Gauge--Higgs Unification (K Takenaga) Partially Composite Two-Higgs Doublet Model (P Ko) and other papers.
