Description: Quantum Gravity in 2+1 Dimensions (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics) Steven Carlip is available to download This timely volume provides a broad survey of (2+1)-dimensional quantum It emphasises the ‘quantum cosmology’ of closed universes and the quantum mechanics of the (2+1)-dimensional black It compares and contrasts a variety of approaches, and examines what they imply for a realistic theory of quantum General relativity in three spacetime dimensions has become a popular arena in which to explore the ramifications of quantum As a diffeomorphism-invariant theory of spacetime structure, this model shares many of the conceptual problems of realistic quantum But it is also simple enough that many programs of quantization can be carried out After analysing the space of classical solutions, this book introduces some fifteen approaches to quantum gravity – from canonical quantization in York’s ‘extrinsic time’ to Chern-Simons quantization, from the loop representation to covariant path integration to lattice Relationships among quantizations are explored, as well as implications for such issues.This material is available do download at niSearch on Steven Carlip's eBooks, .Quantum Gravity in 2+1 ...
