Feynman, but it made no sense at all as a mathematical definition. Cartier and DeWitt-Morette have created, in this book, a fresh approach to functional integration. The book is self-contained: mathematical ideas are introduced, developed, generalised and applied. In the authors' hands, functional integration is shown to be a robust, user-friendly and multi-purpose tool that can be applied to a great variety of situations, for example: systems of indistinguishable particles; Aharonov-Bohm systems; supersymmetry; non-gaussian integrals. Problems in quantum field theory are also considered. In the final part the authors outline topics that can be profitably pursued using material already presented.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pierre Cartier, Cecile Dewitt-Morette\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 476\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.96h x 7.10w x 1.19d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521866965","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":41142652534899,"sku":"9.78052E+12","price":291.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_80f72f5d-2998-4353-b086-5472aead24de.jpg?v=1701876768","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/functional-integration-action-and-symmetries-9780521866965","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
