This review is based on lectures on technicolor and extended technicolor presented at the Frascati Spring School in May 2000

A discussion of effective field theories for heavy bound systems, particularly bound systems involving two heavy quarks.

A brief review on the progress made in the study of Chern-Simons gauge theory since its relation to knot theory was discovered ten years ago is presented.

These notes provide an introductory exposition of the Seiberg-Witten gauge theory.

This review gives an introduction into problems, concepts and techniques when quantizing matter fields near black holes. The first part focusses on quantum fields in general curved space-times. The second part is devoted to a detailed treatment of the Unruh effect in uniformly accelerated frames and the Hawking radiation of black holes

An elementary introduction to the recent solution of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. In addition, review of how it can be re-derived from string duality.

A review of both new experimental and theoretical developments in the Casimir effect. [Postscript & PDF format]

A collection of resources for algebraic quantum field theory
