YANG-MILLS THEORIES IN ALGEBRAIC NON-COVARIANT GAUGES
Canonical Quantization and Renormalization
by A Bassetto (Università di Padova, Italy), G Nardelli (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA) & R Soldati (Università di Bologna, Italy)
This volume deals with canonical quantization, Feynman rules and renormalization of Yang-Mills theories in algebraic non-covariant gauges (typically axial and light-cone gauges). The material is self-contained and presented in a basic manner according to a personal style representative of a long lasting activity in the field. Emphasis is always placed on the underlying basic concepts of Quantum Field Theory, even when particular examples are treated, details and the related difficulties are thoroughly discussed. The value of the book goes beyond the specificity of its subject.
Contents:
- Yang-Mills Theories
- Algebraic Non-Covariant Gauges
-
Canonical Quantization
- Renormalization
- The Wilson Loop
- The Light-Cone Gauge
- Extensions Outside the Light-Cone
Readership: Graduate students in theoretical physics and physicists.
"It first gives a clear and complete introduction to the domain considered ... up-to-date account given here together with a broad, critical survey of the literature makes it helpful to the specialist. Finally, it provides every physicist with a particular but deep insight into the nature of gauge theories."
