Enhanced quantization : particles, fields and gravity / John R. Klauder.

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: Singapore : World Scientific, c2015.Description: xv, 247 p. ; 24 cmISBN:
  • 9789814644624 (hardcover : alk. paper)
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 530.12 23 k63
Contents:
1. Introduction and overview -- 2. Selected topics in classical mechanics -- 3. Selected topics in quantum mechanics -- 4. Essentials of enhanced quantization -- 5. Enhanced affine quantization and the initial cosmological singularity -- 6. Examples of enhanced quantization: bosons, fermions, and anyons -- 7. Enhanced quantization of rotationally invariant models -- 8. Enhanced quantization of ultralocal models -- 9. Enhanced quantization of covariant scalar field models -- 10. Enhanced quantization of gravity -- Bibliography -- Index.
Summary: This book offers alternative quantization procedures that complete the story of quantization. The initial chapters are designed to present the new procedures in a clear and simple manner for general readers. As is necessary, systems that exhibit acceptable results with conventional quantization lead to the same results when the new procedures are used for them. However, later chapters examine selected models that lead to unacceptable results when quantized conventionally. Fortunately, these same models lead to acceptable results when the new quantization procedures are used.
