Synopsis

This volume tackles more advanced themes often found in longer three-semester, or specialist further advanced postgraduate courses. It provides an introductory review to contemporary advanced topics in QFT, in particular, lattice field theory, topological field configurations, supersymmetry and the AdS/CFT correspondence, and it includes a systematic introduction to the functional renormalization group equation with application in noncommutative scalar field theory. Some non-perturbative methods, which allow exact solutions in lower dimensions, or due to the larger number of symmetries involved, are also discussed. This new edition also includes chapters added on noncommutative field theory and the SYK models.

Key Features:

• Reorganized, updated and extended new edition
• Four new chapters.
• Additional exercises
• Suitable for extended courses

About the Author

Badis Ydri―cur­rently a pro­fes­sor of the­o­ret­i­cal par­ti­cle physics, teach­ing at the In­sti­tute of Physics, Badji Mokhtar Annaba Uni­ver­sity, Al­ge­ria―re­ceived his PhD from Syra­cuse Uni­ver­sity, New York, USA and in 2011 his Ha­bil­i­ta­tion from Annaba Uni­ver­sity, Annaba, Al­ge­ria. Pro­fes­sor Ydri is also a re­search as­so­ci­ate at the Dublin In­sti­tute for Advanced Stud­ies, Dublin, Ire­land, and a reg­u­lar ICTP as­so­ci­ate at the Abdus Salam Cen­ter for The­o­ret­i­cal Physics, Tri­este, Italy. His post-doc­toral ex­pe­ri­ence com­prises a Marie Curie fel­low­ship at Hum­boldt Uni­ver­sity Berlin, Ger­many, and a Hamil­ton fel­low­ship at the Dublin In­sti­tute for Ad­vanced Stud­ies, Ire­land. His cur­rent re­search di­rec­tions include: the gauge/grav­ity du­al­ity; the renor­mal­iza­tion group method in ma­trix and non­com­mu­ta­tive field the­o­ries; non-com­mu­ta­tive and ma­trix field the­ory; quan­tum grav­ity as emer­gent geom­e­try, emer­gent grav­ity and emer­gent cos­mol­ogy from ma­trix mod­els.
