{"product_id":"factorization-algebras-in-quantum-field-theory-volume-1-9781107163102","title":"Factorization Algebras in Quantum Field Theory: Volume 1","description":"Factorization algebras are local-to-global objects that play a role in classical and quantum field theory which is similar to the role of sheaves in geometry: they conveniently organize complicated information. Their local structure encompasses examples like associative and vertex algebras; in these examples, their global structure encompasses Hochschild homology and conformal blocks. In this first volume, the authors develop the theory of factorization algebras in depth, but with a focus upon examples exhibiting their use in field theory, such as the recovery of a vertex algebra from a chiral conformal field theory and a quantum group from Abelian Chern-Simons theory. Expositions of the relevant background in homological algebra, sheaves and functional analysis are also included, thus making this book ideal for researchers and graduates working at the interface between mathematics and physics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin Costello, Owen Gwilliam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107163102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCostello, Kevin:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Kevin Costello is the Krembil Foundation William Rowan Hamilton Chair in Theoretical Physics at the Perimeter Institute in Waterloo, Ontario.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGwilliam, Owen:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Owen Gwilliam is a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40643085664371,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":271.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_aa70d861-0891-4287-8d7e-f0aa5bbf65ba.jpg?v=1672412860","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/factorization-algebras-in-quantum-field-theory-volume-1-9781107163102","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
