Description for Geometry and Quantum Field Theory: June 22-July 20, 1991, Park City, Utah (Ias/Park City Mathematics, Vol 1)
Paperback. Explores topics from classical and quantum mechanics and field theory. This book covers Lie groups and symplectic geometry, examining the connection with mechanics and the application to differential equations and the work of the Gromov school. It also describes the application of supersymmetry to prove the Atiyah-Singer index theorem. Editor(s): Freed, Daniel S.; Uhlenbeck, Karen K. Series: IAS/Park City Mathematics Series. Num Pages: 462 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBG; PBM; PBP; PHQ. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 254 x 178 x 26. Weight in Grams: 786.
Exploring topics from classical and quantum mechanics and field theory, this book is based on lectures presented in the Graduate Summer School at the Regional Geometry Institute in Park City, Utah, in 1991. The chapter by Bryant treats Lie groups and symplectic geometry, examining not only the connection with mechanics but also the application to differential equations and the recent work of the Gromov school. Rabin's discussion of quantum mechanics and field theory is specifically aimed at mathematicians.Alvarez describes the application of supersymmetry to prove the Atiyah-Singer index theorem, touching on ideas that also underlie more complicated applications of supersymmetry. ...
