Knots and Feynman Diagrams
Editorial Reviews
Review
'... well structured and written.' Evelyn Weimar-Woods, Zentralblatt für Mathematik
'This is a remarkable book of lecture notes that will fascinate theoretical physicists and pure mathematicians alike ... not only good reading ... recommended reading for anyone who wants to understand the subject properly.' The Mathematical Gazette
'In Knots and Feynman Diagrams, detective Dirk Kreimer recounts the unravelling of one of the great mysteries of modern physics.' Professor A. I. Solomon, Contemporary Physics
Book Description
This volume explains how knot theory and Feynman diagrams can be used to illuminate problems in quantum field theory. The author emphasizes how new discoveries in mathematics have inspired conventional calculational methods for perturbative quantum field theory to become more elegant and potentially more powerful methods. The material illustrates what may possibly be the most productive interface between mathematics and physics. As a result, it will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in theoretical and particle physics as well as mathematics.
