Free and interacting quantum fields : first order processes on electromagnetic and gravitational backgrounds / Daniel Radu, Ioan Merches, Dorian Tatomir, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, Romania.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 653-672) and indexes.
Contents:
Classical and quantum free fields -- The gravitational transmutation hypothesis -- Tomonaga-Schwinger representation of dynamics of quantum physical systems -- Elements of gauge theories -- The gravitational field interacting with other fields -- Interaction of scalar, spinorial, spin-vectorial and tensorial particles, and the gravitational field described by the Schwarzschild metric -- Scattering of electrons and photogeneration of gravitons in external gravitational field -- Interaction of scalar, spinorial, vectorial, spin-vectorial and tensorial particles, with an axially-symmetric gravitational field -- Software package for anaytical calculation of differential cross-sections of gravitational scattering of high-spin particles.
Summary:
"Modern physics is characterized by two great theories, which make it fundamentally different from its predecessor: quantum theory and theory of relativity. In this book we want to bring to the reader's attention several solutions to problems connected to the quantum-relativistic interaction of particles. Remarkably, such solutions furnished rigorous and pertinent explanations of a large set of phenomena, both in microscopic world and galactic universe"-- Provided by publisher.
