商品描述

Providing a comprehensive, pedagogical introduction to scattering amplitudes in gauge theory and gravity, this book is ideal for graduate students and researchers. It offers a smooth transition from basic knowledge of quantum field theory to the frontier of modern research. Building on basic quantum field theory, the book starts with an introduction to the spinor helicity formalism in the context of Feynman rules for tree-level amplitudes. The material covered includes on-shell recursion relations, superamplitudes, symmetries of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory, twistors and momentum twistors, Grassmannians, and polytopes. The presentation also covers amplitudes in perturbative supergravity, 3D Chern-Simons matter theories, and color-kinematics duality and its connection to 'gravity=(gauge theory)x(gauge theory)'. Basic knowledge of Feynman rules in scalar field theory and quantum electrodynamics is assumed, but all other tools are introduced as needed. Worked examples demonstrate the techniques discussed, and over 150 exercises help readers absorb and master the material.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提供了對規範場論和引力中散射振幅的全面、教學性的介紹,非常適合研究生和研究人員閱讀。它將從量子場論的基礎知識平滑過渡到現代研究的前沿。在基礎量子場論的基礎上,本書首先介紹了自旋螺旋度形式主義,並結合費曼規則介紹了樹級振幅。所涵蓋的內容包括基於外殼遞迴關係的超振幅、N=4超楊-米爾斯理論的對稱性、扭子和動量扭子、格拉斯曼流形和多面體。本書還介紹了微擾超引力中的振幅、三維切爾-西蒙斯物質理論以及顏色-動量對偶及其與“引力=(規範場論)x(規範場論)”的關聯。本書假設讀者具備標量場論和量子電動力學中的費曼規則的基礎知識,但其他工具將根據需要進行介紹。書中的實例演示了所討論的技巧,並提供了150多個練習題,幫助讀者理解和掌握所學內容。
