Stochastik Quantization

An introduction to stochastic quantization, a technique that is considered as important as canonical and path-integral-quantization. The book addresses students and researchers by covering fundamental ideas, examples and also current research.

---

Stochastic quantization is a method of quantization that allows us to enlarge the territory of quantum theory beyond the conventional canonical and path-integral quantization methods. A short history of the stochastic-dynamical approach to quantum mechanics, elements of the theory of stochastic processes, stochastic quantization of gauge problems, and complex Langevin equations are given. Through this book readers with a basic knowledge of quantum field theory can become well versed in both the fundamental and the current state of this field of research.
