Deals with modern quantum field theory in the context of cohomological methods and the geometry of nonlinear PDEs. This title features an exposition of results in cohomological aspects of quantum field theory and the geometry of PDEs. It also offers a look at interrelations among cohomology theory, the geometry of PDEs, and field theory.
This collection of invited lectures (at the Conference on Secondary Calculus and Cohomological Physics, Moscow) reflects the state-of-the-art in a new branch of mathematics and mathematical physics arising at the intersection of geometry of nonlinear differential equations, quantum field theory, and cohomological algebra. This is the first comprehensive and self-contained book on modern quantum field theory in the context of cohomological methods and the geometry of nonlinear PDEs. It features: an up-to-date and self-contained exposition of the newest results in cohomological aspects of quantum field theory and the geometry of PDEs; a new look at interrelations among cohomology theory, the geometry of PDEs, and field theory; and, application to Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, BRST formalism, anomalies, and quantum dynamics.
