Description

The objective of this book is to get the reader acquainted with theoretical and mathematical foundations of the concept of Wilson loops in the context of modern quantum field theory. It offers an introduction to calculations with Wilson lines, and shows the recent development of the subject in different important areas of research within the historical context. For the second edition we also revised the methodological framework and updated the presentation style.
