This is the first comprehensive presentation of the quantum non-linear sigma-models. The original papers consider in detail geometrical properties and renormalization of a generic non-linear sigma-model, illustrated by explicit multi-loop calculations in perturbation theory.
The book is considered a systematic presentation of the modern quantum field theory of non-linear sigma-models. The content is based on original papers.

Produktbeschreibung
This is the first comprehensive presentation of the quantum non-linear sigma-models. The original papers consider in detail geometrical properties and renormalization of a generic non-linear sigma-model, illustrated by explicit multi-loop calculations in perturbation theory.
The book is considered a systematic presentation of the modern quantum field theory of non-linear sigma-models. The content is based on original papers. Geometric properties and renormalization of a generic non-linear sigma-model are considered in detail, and illustrated by explicit multi-loop calculations in perturbation theory. Some non-perturbative results are derived for the conformally invariant non-linear sigma-models. Supersymmetric extensions are given for most constructions, with emphasis on their relation to complex geometry. Applications of non-linear sigma-models in conformal theory, gauge theory, string theory, and general relativity are given. The book addresses graduate students and researchers in physics and mathematics.
Rezensionen
"This is a very useful book describing many aspects and applications of nonlinear sigma-models. [...] One of the useful features of the book is that several chapters and sections can essentially be read independently, making this a practical reference book. However, the introductory chapters should also make it accessible to anyone with a basic knowledge of quantum field theory and supersymmetry." (Mathematical Reviews 2002b)
