Vacuum decay; Appendixes; References; Index "Classical solutions play an important role in quantum field theory, high-energy physics, and cosmology. Real-time soliton solutions give rise to particles, such as magnetic monopoles, and extended structures, such as domain walls and cosmic strings, that have implications for the cosmology of the early universe. Imaginarytime Euclidean instantons are responsible for important nonperturbative effects, while Euclidean bounce solutions govern transitions between metastable states. Written for advanced graduate students and researchers in elementary particle physics, cosmology, and related fields, this book brings the reader up to the level of current research in the field"-- Provided by publisher Quantum theory Mathematics 0 0 0 0 20000 20000 2019-09-04 297.54 0 QC174.17.M35 W45 2012 0000069174 2019-09-04 00:00:00 1 297.54 2019-09-04 OPEN VIRTUA40 62878 62884 VTLSSORT0080*0200*0201*0400*0900*1000*2450*2600*3000*4900*5040*5050*5200*6500*9992
