Description for Euclidean Quantum Gravity on Manifolds with Boundary
Hardback. Beginning with a review of the physical and mathematical motivations for studying physical theories in the presence of boundaries, this text emphasizes electrostatics, vacuum Maxwell theory and quantum cosmology. The Feynman propagator is studied in Minkowski space-time and in curved space-time. Series: Fundamental Theories of Physics. Num Pages: 335 pages, bibliography, index. BIC Classification: PHQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 22. Weight in Grams: 655.
This book reflects our own struggle to understand the semiclassical behaviour of quantized fields in the presence of boundaries. Along many years, motivated by the problems of quantum cosmology and quantum field theory, we have studied in detail the one-loop properties of massless spin-l/2 fields, Euclidean Maxwell the ory, gravitino potentials and Euclidean quantum gravity. Hence our book begins with a review of the physical and mathematical motivations for studying physical theories in the presence of boundaries, with emphasis on electrostatics, vacuum v Maxwell theory and quantum cosmology. We then study the Feynman propagator in Minkowski space-time and in curved ... Read more
