Scattering Amplitudes in Gauge Theory and Gravity de Henriette Elvang

Scattering Amplitudes in Gauge Theory and Gravity

Autor Henriette Elvang, Yu-tin Huang
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 feb 2015
Providing a comprehensive, pedagogical introduction to scattering amplitudes in gauge theory and gravity, this book is ideal for graduate students and researchers. It offers a smooth transition from basic knowledge of quantum field theory to the frontier of modern research. Building on basic quantum field theory, the book starts with an introduction to the spinor helicity formalism in the context of Feynman rules for tree-level amplitudes. The material covered includes on-shell recursion relations, superamplitudes, symmetries of N=4 super Yang–Mills theory, twistors and momentum twistors, Grassmannians, and polytopes. The presentation also covers amplitudes in perturbative supergravity, 3D Chern–Simons matter theories, and color-kinematics duality and its connection to 'gravity=(gauge theory)x(gauge theory)'. Basic knowledge of Feynman rules in scalar field theory and quantum electrodynamics is assumed, but all other tools are introduced as needed. Worked examples demonstrate the techniques discussed, and over 150 exercises help readers absorb and master the material.

Recenzii

'In recent years, a series of surprising insights and new methods have transformed the understanding of gauge and gravitational scattering amplitudes. These advances are important both for practical calculations in particle physics, and for the fundamental structure of relativistic quantum theory. Elvang and Huang have written the first comprehensive text on this subject, and their clear and pedagogical approach will make these new ideas accessible to a wide range of students.' Joseph Polchinski, University of California, Santa Barbara
'This book provides a much-needed text covering modern techniques that have given radical new insights into the structure of quantum field theory. It gathers together a very large body of recent literature and presents it in a coherent style. The book should appeal to the wide body of researchers who wish to use quantum field theory as a tool for describing physical phenomena or who are intending to gain insight by studying its mathematical structure.' Michael B. Green, University of Cambridge
