Knots and Feynman Diagrams

Cambridge Lecture Notes in Physics #13

by Dirk Kreimer

This volume explains how knot theory and Feynman diagrams can be used to illuminate problems in quantum field theory. The author emphasizes how new discoveries in mathematics have inspired conventional calculational methods for perturbative quantum field theory to become more elegant and potentially more powerful methods. The material illustrates what may possibly be the most productive interface between mathematics and physics. As a result, it will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in theoretical and particle physics as well as mathematics.
