TitleNew Paths Towards Quantum Gravity
Author(s)Boo??-Bavnbek, Bernhelm;Esposito, Giampiero;Lesch, Matthias
PublicationBerlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2010.
DescriptionXII, 350 p : online resource
Abstract NoteAside from the obvious statement that it should be a theory capable of unifying general relativity and quantum field theory, not much is known about the true nature of quantum gravity. New ideas - and there are many of them for this is an exciting field of research - often diverge to a degree where it seems impossible to decide in which of the many possible direction(s) the ongoing developments should be further sustained. The division of the book in two (overlapping) parts reflects the duality between the physical vision and the mathematical construction. The former is represented by tutorial reviews on non-commutative geometry, on space-time discretization and renormalization and on gauge field path integrals. The latter one by lectures on cohomology, on stochastic geometry and on mathematical tools for the effective action in quantum gravity. The book will benefit everyone working or entering the field of quantum gravity research

TitlePolytopes : Abstract, Convex and Computational
Author(s)Bisztriczky, Tibor;McMullen, Peter;Schneider, Rolf;Weiss, Asia Ivic
PublicationDordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 1994.
DescriptionXIX, 507 p : online resource
Abstract NoteThe aim of this volume is to reinforce the interaction between the three main branches (abstract, convex and computational) of the theory of polytopes. The articles include contributions from many of the leading experts in the field, and their topics of concern are expositions of recent results and in-depth analyses of the development (past and future) of the subject. The subject matter of the book ranges from algorithms for assignment and transportation problems to the introduction of a geometric theory of polyhedra which need not be convex. With polytopes as the main topic of interest, there are articles on realizations, classifications, Eulerian posets, polyhedral subdivisions, generalized stress, the Brunn--Minkowski theory, asymptotic approximations and the computation of volumes and mixed volumes. For researchers in applied and computational convexity, convex geometry and discrete geometry at the graduate and postgraduate levels
