Quantum Field Theory

Will our Universe expand forever, or there is a Big Crunch coming up? How can the rate of the Universe expansion be measured in a laboratory? How does the boundary of space look?

How can Mach's principle be verified experimentally? How many stars are needed in order for the law of inertia to hold?... (More)

A collection of papers by Soviet scientist on current issues of gravitation and elementary particles New gravitation theory is presented that, unlike Einstein's theory of general relativity, satisfies the correspondence principle and conservation laws for energy-momentum for matter and gravitational... (More)

The aim of this collection is to make available in English recent results obtained by Soviet scientists in low-temperature physics. The selection of review papers for this collection was guided by two factors. Firstly, all of them deal with closely related subjects: most of the papers are devoted to... (More)

Este libro está dedicado a las más palpitantes cuestiones situadas a caballo entre la astrofísica y la física de las partículas elementales. Se discuten hipótesis y posibles variantes de obtención de información sobre las partículas elementales a partir de datos astrofísicos. (More)

Cet ouvrage est le quatriàme tome du Cours de Physique théorique universellement connu de Lev Landau, Prix Lénine et Nobel, et d'Evguéni Lifchitz, Prix Lénine et Lomonossov.

Le présent tome a été écrit par un groupe de physiciens composé de V. Bé restetski, E. Lifchitz et L. Pitayevski, qui sont restés... (More)

Ce deuxiàme tome du cours bien connu de Physique théorique de L. Landau et E. Lifchitz est consacré d'une part а la théorie du champ électromagnétique et d'autre part а la théorie de la gravitation. L'exposé de la théorie du champ électromagnétique fondée sur la théorie de la relativité restreinte ne... (More)

The book contains a systematic presentation of the basics of the classical and quantum theories of fields. It thoroughly treats the question of symmetry groups, with the property of gauge symmetry used to describe the electromagnetic field and Yang-Mills fields. Quantization of the electromagnetic field... (More)

This book looks at motion of particles using mathematical methods of physical observable values in General Relativity. It is shown that aside for mass-bearing particles and light-like particles "zero-particles" can exist in fully degenerated space-time (zero-space). For a regular observer zero-particles... (More)

The book builds theory of motion of charged particles with spin in four-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian space. The theory employs the mathematical apparatus of chronometric invariants by A.L. Zelmanov (physical observable values in the General Theory of Relativity). Numerous special effects in electrodynamics,... (More)

Математическая физика - один из важнейших разделов фундаментальных наук. Ее методы проникают почти во все области современного естествознания и техники. Энциклопедия "Математическая физика" отражает основные и перспективные направления этой науки. Она содержит вопросы классической и квантовой механики,... (More)

En este libro de los prominentes físicos soviéticos se expone, por una parte, el método general de la cuantificación de las teorías invariantes de gauge en términos de la integral funcional, y, por otra, su renormalización. Se analizan también la formulación de las teorías de gauge reticulares y los... (More)

As a fundamental branch of theoretical physics, quantum field theory has led, in the last 20 years, to spectacular progress in our understanding of phase transitions and elementary particles. This textbook emphasizes the underlying unity of the concepts and methods used in both domains, and presents... (More)
