Description for Tensorial Methods and Renormalization in Group Field Theories
Hardback. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 241 pages, 51 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBG; PHDV; PHQ; PHR; PHU. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 242 x 162 x 19. Weight in Grams: 508.
The main focus of this thesis is the mathematical structure of Group Field Theories (GFTs) from the point of view of renormalization theory. Such quantum field theories are found in approaches to quantum gravity related, on the one hand, to Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) and on the other, to matrix- and tensor models. Background material on these topics, including conceptual and technical aspects, are introduced in the first chapters. The work then goes on to explain how the standard tools of Quantum Field Theory can be generalized to GFTs and exploited to study the large cut-off behaviour and renormalization group ... Read more
