{"product_id":"quantization-of-gauge-systems-9780691037691","title":"Quantization of Gauge Systems","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is a systematic study of the classical and quantum theories of gauge systems. It starts with Dirac's analysis showing that gauge theories are constrained Hamiltonian systems. The classical foundations of BRST theory are then laid out with a review of the necessary concepts from homological algebra. Reducible gauge systems are discussed, and the relationship between BRST cohomology and gauge invariance is carefully explained. The authors then proceed to the canonical quantization of gauge systems, first without ghosts (reduced phase space quantization, Dirac method) and second in the BRST context (quantum BRST cohomology). The path integral is discussed next. The analysis covers indefinite metric systems, operator insertions, and Ward identities. The antifield formalism is also studied and its equivalence with canonical methods is derived. The examples of electromagnetism and abelian 2-form gauge fields are treated in detail. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book gives a general and unified treatment of the subject in a self-contained manner. Exercises are provided at the end of each chapter, and pedagogical examples are covered in the text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marc Henneaux, Claudio Teitelboim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.23h x 6.10w x 1.15d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691037691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarc Henneaux\u003c\/b\u003e is Maître de Recherches at the Belgian National Foundation for Scientific Research and Lecturer at the University of Brussels. \u003cb\u003eClaudio Teitelboim\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of the Centro de Estudios Cientificos de Santiago in Chile, a Professor at the University of Chile, and a Long-term Member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40087122247795,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":118.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_d2f86e6c-b5ea-4c6c-a8b2-fbca2fdf004e.jpg?v=1652538193","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/quantization-of-gauge-systems-9780691037691","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
