Operators, geometry and quanta : Methods of spectral geometry in quantum field theory
This book gives a detailed and self-contained introduction into the theory of spectral functions, with an emphasis on their applications to quantum field theory. All methods are illustrated with applications to specific physical problems from the forefront of current research, such as finite-tempera...
