Description for Quantum Field Theory II: Introductions to Quantum Gravity, Supersymmetry and String Theory
Hardback. Series: Graduate Texts in Physics. Num Pages: 379 pages, 30 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBKA; PHDV; PHQ; PHU. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 166 x 242 x 29. Weight in Grams: 716.
This book takes a pedagogical approach to explaining quantum gravity, supersymmetry and string theory in a coherent way. It is aimed at graduate students and researchers in quantum field theory and high-energy physics. The first part of the book introduces quantum gravity, without requiring previous knowledge of general relativity (GR). The necessary geometrical aspects are derived afresh leading to explicit general Lagrangians for gravity, including that of general relativity. The quantum aspect of gravitation, as described by the graviton, is introduced and perturbative quantum GR is discussed. The Schwinger-DeWitt formalism is developed to compute the one-loop contribution ... Read more

Reviews for Quantum Field Theory II: Introductions to Quantum Gravity, Supersymmetry and String Theory
The book qualifies as a very valuable addition to the quantum field theory literature with the distinctive merit of presenting quantum gravity, supersymmetry and string theory in a clear way accessible to graduate students and likely useful also to researchers in quantum field theory and elementary particle theory. (Franco Strocchi, zbMATH 1377.81002, 2018) It makes for quite ... Read more
