This thesis takes several steps towards realising this goal by introducing geometric descriptions of systems such as quantum gravity, fermionic particles and the origins of the Universe itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author extends the applicability of previous work by Vilkovisky, DeWitt and others to include theories with spin 1\/2 and spin 2 degrees of freedom. In addition, he introduces a geometric description of the potential term in a quantum field theory through a process known as the Eisenhart lift. Finally, the methods are applied to the theory of inflation, where they show how geometry can help answer a long-standing question about the initial conditions of the Universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis publication is aimed at graduate and advanced undergraduate students and provides a pedagogical introduction to the exciting topic of field space covariance and the complete geometrization of quantum field theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45277965516951,"sku":"9783030852689","price":12486.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783030852689.webp?v=1769289685","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/geometric-approaches-to-quantum-field-theory-9783030852689","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
