经典名著系列 共形场论 第2卷 英文版
作者: (法)菲利普迪弗朗切斯科 著
出版时间:2009年版
内容简介
  《onformal Field Theory Vol.2(共形场论)》共18章,分为3个部分。第1部分——简介。第1章中对《onformal Field Theory Vol.2(共形场论)》涉及的相关概念进行了简单回顾。第2章是量子场论的一些基本概念,如自由玻色(费米)子,路径积分,关联函数,对称与守恒量,以及能动张量。第3章则涉及统计力学的一些基本概念,如玻尔兹曼分布,临界现象,重整化群和转移矩阵。
  第2部分——基础理论。首先,第4章介绍了全局的共形不变。然后,第5章详细论述了有关二维共形不变基本而重要的概念,内容包括初级场、关联函数、Ward恒等式、自由场、算子积展开和中心荷等等。第6章则是更为详细论述算子表述下的共形场论,此章的重点是Vimsoro代数:和顶点代数。随后两章论述了极小模型,极小模型是共形场论中最重要的模型之一。第9章和第10章分别介绍库仑气体和模不变,屏蔽算子和Verlinde公式等重要概念亦先后引入。第11、12两章分别介绍了Q-态Potts模型和二维Ising模型。
  第3部分——具有李群对称性的共形场论。第13章介绍了单李代数的一些基本内容,如单李代数的结构,最高权表示和特征标等等。第14章为仿射李代数(亦称Kac-Moody代数),内容基本与第13章平行。第15~17章,讨论的主题都是WZW(Wess-Zumino.Witten)模型。WZW模型是二维共形场论中另一个最重要的模型,它集中体现了二维共形场论的各种性质。最后一章,即18章为陪集构造。陪集构造是共形场论最重要的手段之一。对于物理学或是数学工作者而言,陪集构造方法将二维共形场论的研究带入到一个新的天地。
  《onformal Field Theory Vol.2(共形场论)》各章之后有大量的练习题,可检验和加深对所学内容的理解。
