Discusses theories that may lead to a new paradigm of particle physics, in 45 papers presented to a July 1990 workshop in Nagoya, Japan. Some of the topics are dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking with color-sextet quarks, parity violation and the origin of mass, strongly coupled lattice QED, and some non-dynamical relations in SCGT.

A follow-up of the 1988 Workshop on New Trends in Strong Coupling Gauge Theories, the 1990 Workshop, entitled Strong Coupling Gauge Theories and Beyond, is devoted to discussions on dynamical symmetry breaking and phase structure in various types of strong coupling gauge theories and other theories, their formal aspects and the related models of electroweak symmetry breaking.

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. Sample Chapter(s).
