Description and Table of Contents
Description
An anomaly is the failure of a classical symmetry to survive the process of quantization and regularization. The study of anomalies has played an important role in quantum field theory in the last 20 years, a role which is described clearly and comprehensively in this book. The author approaches the subject through differential geometry.
