Description for Geometry, Topology and Quantum Field Theory
hardcover. Deals with the geometrical and topological aspects related to quantum field theory with special reference to the electroweak theory and skyrmions. Including an overview of noncommutative geometry, this book emphasises the topological aspects of a fermion manifested through chiral anomaly which is responsible for the generation of mass. Series: Fundamental Theories of Physics. Num Pages: 231 pages, 1 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 14. Weight in Grams: 520.
This is a monograph on geometrical and topological features which arise in quantum field theory. It is well known that when a chiral fermion interacts with a gauge field we have chiral anomaly which corresponds to the fact that divergence of the axial vector current does not vanish. It is observed that this is related to certain topological features associated with the fermion and leads to the realization of the topological origin of fermion number as well as the Berry phase. The role of gauge fields in the quantization procedure has its implications in these topological features of a fermion ... Read more
