Introduction to Quantum Field Theory with Applications to Quantum Gravity

by Ilya Shapiro and Joseph Buchbinder

Book Overview

Applications of quantum field theoretical methods to gravitational physics, both in the semiclassical and the full quantum frameworks, require a careful formulation of the fundamental basis of quantum theory, with special attention to such important issues as renormalization, quantum theory of gauge theories, and especially effective action formalism. The first part of this graduate textbook provides both a conceptual and technical introduction to...
