Summary

The Standard Model is reduced to Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) only by a limitation to moderate energies. We review crucial properties like asymptotic free and the role of chiral symmetry. The latter is analyzed both in the continuum and on the lattice. In particular, the Ginsparg–Wilson relation for lattice Dirac operators allow us to properly address the hierarchy problem which appears fermion masses at the non-perturbative level.
