There are essentially two alternative approaches for formalizing quantum field theory and making it accessible to mathematical treatment: Gerald B. From QFT to GRT we use some Lagrangian formalism, which is time/CPT symmetric and very clear about causality: we just live in 4D equilibrium optimizing the action, for example attached in Big Bang in the past and Big Crunch in the future, like 4D jello . 3) Number-Crunching: Taming Unruly Computational Problems from Mathematical Physics to Science Fiction Nahin, Paul J. This easy-to-follow guide helps you understand this complex subject matter without spending a lot of energy. Yeah, just what I needed: another book on quantum field theory, and another book on homological algebra. From the reviews: "Quantum field theory combines relativity, quantum mechanics, and many-particle physics to provide a theoretical basis for the most fundamental. Trying to comprehend quantum field theory but don't have infinite time or the IQ of Einstein? In this deceptively Polkinghorne then guides us through the rush of discoveries in the 1920s – including Hiesenberg's uncertainty principle, the probabilistic nature of quantum theory and superposition – as new quantum theory begins to chart these landmarks of the unknown quantum world. 2) The Infinity Puzzle: Quantum Field Theory and the Hunt for an Orderly Universe Close, Frank Basic Books: Perseus 2011. 1) Time Travel and Warp Drives: A Scientific Guide to Shortcuts Through Time and Space Everett, Allen University of Chicago Press 2012. My point, which I am not going to repeat again after this post, is that the reversibility is IN THE MATHEMATICAL FORMALISM, and you appear to assume that this means that nature also obeys reversible laws. They are all written by experts in the given subject; the Mathematics: a very short introduction is written by the Fields Medallist and recently knighted Tim Gowers. €�Gauge theory” is a term which has connotations of being a fearsomely complicated part of mathematics – for instance, playing an important role in quantum field theory, general relativity, geometric PDE, and so forth.
