Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the most up-to-date theory of the strong interaction. Its predictions have been verified experimentally, and it is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics. However, standard perturbative procedures fail if applied to low-energy QCD. Even the discovery...
The Heroic Age
The Creation of Quantum Mechanics, 1925-1940
Language: English
Release Date: January 22, 2018
Quantum theory is one of the great achievements of twentieth century physics. Born at the very beginning of the century, it attained a definitive form by 1932, yet continued to evolve throughout the century. Its applications remain fully a part of modern life. It should thus come as no surprise that...
The Quantum Puzzle
Critique of Quantum Theory and Electrodynamics
Language: English
Release Date: April 27, 2017
In 1861, James Clerk–Maxwell published Part II of his four-part series "On physical lines of force". In it, he attempted to construct a vortex model of the magnetic field but after much effort neither he, nor other late nineteenth century physicists who followed him, managed to produce...
The Universal Coefficient Theorem and Quantum Field Theory
A Topological Guide for the Duality Seeker
Language: English
Release Date: September 23, 2016
This thesis describes a new connection between algebraic geometry, topology, number theory and quantum field theory. It offers a pedagogical introduction to algebraic topology, allowing readers to rapidly develop basic skills, and it also presents original ideas to inspire new research in the quest...
Quantum Objects
Non-Local Correlation, Causality and Objective Indefiniteness in the Quantum World
Language: English
Release Date: August 27, 2013
This monograph identifies the essential characteristics of the objects described by current quantum theory and considers their relationship to space-time. In the process, it explicates the senses in which quantum objects may be consistently considered to have parts of which they may be composed...

The project supported...
Gribov-85 Memorial Volume: Exploring Quantum Field Theory
Proceedings of the Memorial Workshop Devoted to the 85th Birthday of V N Gribov
Language: English
Release Date: September 16, 2016
Vladimir Naumovich Gribov is one of the creators of modern theoretical physics. The concepts and methods that Gribov has developed in the second half of the 20th century became cornerstones of the physics of high energy hadron interactions (relativistic theory of complex angular momenta, a notion...

Quantum Lie Theory
A Multilinear Approach
Language: English
Release Date: December 24, 2015
This is an introduction to the mathematics behind the phrase “quantum Lie algebra”. The numerous attempts over the last 15-20 years to define a quantum Lie algebra as an elegant algebraic object with a binary “quantum” Lie bracket have not been widely accepted. In this book, an alternative...

How Physics Confronts Reality
Einstein was Correct, but Bohr Won the Game
Language: English
Release Date: July 28, 2009
This book recalls, for nonscientific readers, the history of quantum mechanics, the main points of its interpretation, and Einstein's objections to it, together with the responses engendered by his arguments. Most popular discussions on the strange aspects of quantum mechanics ignore the fundamental...
