Quantum Geometry: A Statistical Field Theory Approach

by Thordur Jonsson, Bergfinnur Durhuus, Jan Ambjørn

Book Overview

This graduate/research level text describes in a unified fashion the statistical mechanics of random walks, random surfaces and random higher dimensional manifolds with an emphasis on the geometrical aspects of the theory and applications to the quantisation of strings, gravity and topological field theory. With chapters on random walks, random surfaces, two- and higher dimensional quantum gravity, topological quantum field theories and Monte Carlo...
