Informal Lectures on Lattice Gauge Theory
by Guy D. Moore
Publisher: McGill University 2003
Number of pages: 50
Description:
The object is to introduce the ideas behind lattice gauge theory, with an intended audience of quantum field theorists with no lattice experience. I concentrate on field theory aspects which are elucidated by lattice gauge theory; ideas of effective field theory, the geometrical meaning of gauge invariance, attempts to rigorously define confinement, instantons and topology, and a concrete example of what complications arise when one tries to regulate chiral theories.

Holographic Quantum Matterby S. A. Hartnoll, A. Lucas, S. Sachdev - arXiv.org
We present a review of theories of states of quantum matter without quasiparticle excitations. Solvable examples of such states are provided through a holographic duality with gravitational theories in an emergent spatial dimension.
