Path integrals and anomalies in curved space /
This book introduces path integrals, a powerful method for describing quantum phenomena, and then uses them to compute anomalies in quantum field theories. An advanced text for researchers and graduate students of quantum field theory and string theory, it also provides a stand-alone introduction to...
