A Modern Course in Quantum Field Theory, Volume 2 (Second Edition) (eBook, ePUB)

Advanced topics

Beschreibung

This volume tackles more advanced themes often found in longer three-semester, or specialist further advanced postgraduate courses. It provides an introductory review to contemporary advanced topics in QFT, in particular, lattice field theory, topological field configurations, supersymmetry and the AdS/CFT correspondence, and it includes a systematic introduction to the functional renormalization group equation with application in noncommutative scalar field theory. Some non-perturbative methods, which allow exact solutions in lower dimensions, or due to the larger number of symmetries involved, are also discussed. This new edition also includes chapters added on noncommutative field theory and the SYK models.

Key Features:

• Reorganized, updated and extended new edition
• Four new chapters.
• Additional exercises
• Suitable for extended courses

Autor

Badis Ydri is a professor of theoretical physics at the Institute of Physics, Annaba University, Algeria. He earned his PhD from Syracuse University, New York, USA, in 2001. He is also a research associate at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, Ireland. His postdoctoral work includes a Marie Curie fellowship at Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany, and a Hamilton fellowship at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, Ireland. His general areas of expertise encompasses quantum field theory, general relativity, string theory, and philosophy of physics. His ongoing research explores: 1) matrix quantum mechanics approaches to quantum black holes and quantum gravity, 2) gauge/gravity duality and M-theory, 3) noncommutative geometry and matrix models, 4) renormalization group equation and Monte Carlo methods, 5) artificial intelligence in computational physics, 6) quantum philosophy, and 7) hard physical philosophy of consciousness and existence. He is the author of seven books in theoretical physics.
