Excellent- More about Covariant Techniques in Quantum Field Theory
This book provides essential techniques for computing quantum effects in covariant theories, such as general relativity, with applications in broader contexts. It is suitable for young researchers and advanced students with a background in quantum field theory.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 90 pages
Publication date: 12 September 2022
Publisher: Springer International Publishing AG
The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive guide to some of the most important techniques that are essential for computing quantum effects in covariant theories, such as general relativity. In fact, these techniques have broader applications beyond just quantum gravity, including in low-energy effective (chiral) Lagrangians and even in specific problems in condensed matter physics. Some of the topics covered in this book include:
The background field approach and the heat kernel ideas.
The author takes the time to explain the arguments in great detail, making this book suitable for young researchers and advanced students who are just starting to work in the field. It is important to note that this book assumes a basic understanding of quantum field theory, including Feynman's path integral.
In the Appendix, the author provides a step-by-step explanation of a nontrivial calculation of one-loop divergences in Einstein-Hilbert gravity. This appendix is particularly useful for those who wish to delve deeper into the mathematical aspects of quantum gravity.
Overall, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of quantum gravity and its applications to other fields of physics.
