Analytic Aspects of Quantum Fields
One of the aims of this book is to explain in a basic manner the seemingly difficult issues of mathematical structure using some specific examples as a guide. In each of the cases considered, a comprehensible physical problem is approached, to which the corresponding mathematical scheme is applied, its usefulness being duly demonstrated. The authors try to fill the gap that always exists between the physics of quantum field theories and the mathematical methods best suited for its formulation, which are increasingly demanding on the mathematical ability of the physicist.
Geometrical Aspects of Quantum Fields
This volume presents the following topics: non-Abelian Toda models, brief remarks for physicists on equivariant cohomology and the Duistermaat-Heckman formula, Casimir effect, quantum groups and their application to nuclear physics, quantum field theory, quantum gravity and the theory of extended objects, and black hole physics and cosmology. Contents: Dynamics, Viscous, Self-Screening Hawking Atmosphere (I Brevik); Gravitational Interaction of Higher Spin Massive Fields and String Theory (I L Buchbinder & V D Pershin); Invariants of ChernOCoSimons Theory Associated with Hyperbolic Manifolds (A A Bytsenko et al.); Localization of Equivariant Cohomology OCo Introductory and Expository Remarks...
Zeta Regularization Techniques With Applications
This book is the result of several years of work by the authors on different aspects of zeta functions and related topics. The aim is twofold. On one hand, a considerable number of useful formulas, essential for dealing with the different aspects of zeta-function regularization (analytic continuation, asymptotic expansions), many of which appear here, in book format, for the first time are presented. On the other hand, the authors show explicitly how to make use of such formulas and techniques in practical applications to physical problems of very different nature. Virtually all types of zeta functions are dealt with in the book.
A Window Into Zeta and Modular Physics
Consists of lectures that are part of the MSRI workshops and that introduce students and researchers to the intriguing world of theoretical physics.
Cosmology, Quantum Vacuum and Zeta Functions
Some major developments of physics in the last three decades are addressed by highly qualified specialists in different specific fields. They include renormalization problems in QFT, vacuum energy fluctuations and the Casimir effect in different configurations, and a wealth of applications. A number of closely related issues are also considered. The cosmological applications of these theories play a crucial role and are at the very heart of the book; in particular, the possibility to explain in a unified way the whole history of the evolution of the Universe: from primordial inflation to the present day accelerated expansion. Further, a description of the mathematical background underlying many of the physical theories considered above is provided. This includes the uses of zeta functions in physics, as in the regularization problems in QFT already mentioned, specifically in curved space-time, and in Casimir problems as.
