Mathematical aspects of quantum field theory Mathematical aspects of quantum field theory Edson de Faria "Over the last century quantum field theory has made a significant impact on the formulation and solution of mathematical problems and inspired powerful advances in pure mathematics. However, most ac… OL15632704W
Field theory of non-equilibrium systems Field theory of non-equilibrium systems Alex Kamenev "The physics of non-equilibrium many-body systems is one of the most rapidly expanding areas of theoretical physics. Traditionally used in the study of laser physics and superconducting kinetics, the… OL16002333W
Exact methods in low-dimensional statistical physics and quantum computing Exact methods in low-dimensional statistical physics and quantum computing Ecole d'été de physique théorique (Les Houches, Haute-Savoie, France) (89th 2008) "Recent years have shown important and spectacular convergences between techniques traditionally used in theoretical physics and methods emerging from modern mathematics (combinatorics, probability t… OL16118413W
Classical solutions in quantum field theory Classical solutions in quantum field theory Erick J. Weinberg "Classical solutions play an important role in quantum field theory, high-energy physics, and cosmology. Real-time soliton solutions give rise to particles, such as magnetic monopoles, and extended s… OL16664146W
Time reborn Time reborn Lee Smolin One of our foremost thinkers and public intellectuals offers a radical new view of the nature of time, and explores its implications for everything from physics and cosmology to economics and climate… OL16805378W
The orie statistique des champs The orie statistique des champs Claude Itzykson This two-volume work shows the common aspects of quantum field theory and statistical mechanics, both in respect to analytical methods and simulation techniques on the computer. OL16963563W
Connections in classical and quantum field theory Connections in classical and quantum field theory L. Mangiarotti Geometrical notions and methods play an important role in both classical and quantum field theory, and a connection is a deep structure which apparently underlies the gauge-theoretical models. This c… OL19837215W
Euclidean Quantum Gravity on Manifolds with Boundary Euclidean Quantum Gravity on Manifolds with Boundary Giampiero Esposito The book begins with a review of the physical and mathematical motivations for studying physical theories in the presence of boundaries, with emphasis on electrostatics, vacuum Maxwell theory and qua… OL19848555W

Renormalization Group and Fixed Points Renormalization Group and Fixed Points Timothy J. Hollowood This Brief presents an introduction to the theory of the renormalization group in the context of quantum field theories of relevance to particle physics. Emphasis is placed on gaining a physical unde… OL19899551W
Renormalization of Quantum Field Theories with Non-linear Field Transformations Renormalization of Quantum Field Theories with Non-linear Field Transformations Peter Breitenlohner The characteristic feature of many models for field theories based on concepts of differential geometry is their nonlinearity. In this book a systematic exposition of nonlinear transformations in qua… OL19899554W
Statistical Field Theories Statistical Field Theories Andrea Cappelli Recent developments in theoretical physics include new instances of the unification of quite different phenomena. The theoretical community is challenged by the growing interactions between high-ener… OL19903855W
