A Combinatorial Perspective on Quantum Field Theory

Cham : Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Springer, 2017
Abstract/Sommario: This book explores combinatorial problems and insights in quantum field theory. It is not comprehensive, but rather takes a tour, shaped by the author’s biases, through some of the important ways that a combinatorial perspective can be brought to bear on quantum field theory. Among the outcomes are both physical insights and interesting mathematics. The book begins by thinking of perturbative expansions as kinds of generating functions and then introduces renormalization Hopf algebras. ...; [leggi tutto]
