Quantum Non-linear Sigma-Models From Quantum Field Theory to Supersymmetry, Conformal Field Theory, Black Holes and Strings
Description
Offers a systematic presentation of the modern quantum field theory of non-linear sigma-models. These models are very popular in theoretical high energy physics, string theory, and statistical physics. The geometric and quantum renormalization properties of the most general non-linear sigma-models are considered in detail within the framework of quantum perturbation theory. The main applications to be considered in the book can be found in string theory, conformal field theory, and general relativity.
