Loops, Knots, Gauge Theories and Quantum Gravity

by Jorge Pullin and Rodolfo Gambini

Book Overview

This volume provides a self-contained introduction to applications of loop representations, and the related topic of knot theory, in particle physics and quantum gravity. These topics are of considerable interest because they provide a unified arena for the study of the gauge invariant quantization of Yang-Mills theories and gravity, and suggest a promising approach to the eventual unification of the four fundamental forces. The book begins with a...
