'All are every interesting topics treated with a high level of mathematical sophistication. One of the very useful tricks the author repeatedly resorts to is the introduction of one-parameter families of operators interpolating between two operators which appear naturally in the formalism. From this one-parameter family a differential equation for the determinant (or ratio of determinants) or for correlation functions is derived, which can then be solved. This is a very simple, elegant and powerful technique.'
Mathematical Reviews ClippingsFunctional Integrals is a well-established method in mathematical physics, especially those mathematical methods used in modern non-perturbative quantum field theory and string theory. This book presents a unique, original and modern treatment of strings representations on Bosonic Quantum Chromodynamics and Bosonization theory on 2d Gauge Field Models, besides of rigorous mathematical studies on the analytical regularization scheme on Euclidean quantum field path integrals and stochastic quantum field theory. It follows an analytic approach based on Loop space techniques, functional determinant exact evaluations and exactly solubility of four dimensional QCD loop wave equations through Elfin Botelho fermionic extrinsic self avoiding string path integrals.
