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.

Cosmology and Dark Matter
by V. A. Rubakov - arXiv
Theoretical hypotheses on the nature of the dark matter particles are numerous, so we concentrate on several candidates, such as WIMPs, axions and sterile neutrinos, and also give examples of more elusive candidates such as fuzzy dark matter.

Non-Abelian Discrete Symmetries in Particle Physics
by Hajime Ishimori, at al. - arXiv
The authors review pedagogically non-Abelian discrete groups, which play an important role in the particle physics. They show group-theoretical aspects for many concrete groups, such as representations, their tensor products.
