The first part of the book begins with an account of important results in geometric topology. It investigates the differential equation aspects of quantum cohomology, before moving on to noncommutative geometry. This is followed by a further exploration of quantum field theory and gauge theory, describing AdS/CFT correspondence, and the functional renormalization group approach to quantum gravity. The second part covers a wide spectrum of topics on the borderline of mathematics and physics, ranging from orbifolds to quantum indistinguishability and involving a manifold of mathematical tools borrowed from geometry, algebra and analysis. Each chapter presents introductory material before moving on to more advanced results. The chapters are self-contained and can be read independently of the rest"--Provided by publisher 650 4$aGeometry, Differential 650 4$aQuantum theory. 700 1 $aOcampo, Hernān 700 1 $aPariguān, Eddy 700 1 $aPaycha, Sylvie 907 $a.b14067675$b02-04-14$c28-06-12 912 $a991001769509707536 945 $aLE006 53.1.4 OCA$g1$i2006000167062$lle006$op$pE95.06$q-$rl$s- $t0$u0$v0$w0$x0$y.i15428990$z28-06-12 996 $aGeometric and topological methods for quantum field theory$9239592 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale006$b28-06-12$cm$da $e-$feng$gnyu$h0$i0 LEADER 03334nam 2200697Ia 450 001 9910653494503321 005 20251116143340.0 010 $a1-135-82489-4 010 $a1-135-82490-8 010 $a1-280-40481-7 010 $a0-203-47483-X 024 $a10.4324/9780203474839 035 $a(CKB)111056485550760 035 $a(EBL)170264 035 $a(OCoLC)559981979 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000079413 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11110677 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000079413 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10088552 035 $a(PQKB)10600528 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC170264 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL170264 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10054075 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL40481 035 $a(OCoLC)50683503 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111056485550760 100 $a19990728d2000 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aEconomics of sport and recreation /$fChris Gratton and Peter Taylor 205 $a2nd ed. 210 $aLondon ;$aNew York $cE & FN Spon$d2000 215 $a1 online resource (243 p.) 300 $aRev. ed. of: Sports and recreation. 1985. 300 $aThis book started out as a second edition of our Sport and recreation: an economic analysis ... however this book contains very little of the earlier book.

This new edition covers all aspects of the economics of sport and recreation but gives prominence to the staggering rise of the commercial sector over the last decade. Special attention is paid to the economics of the sports goods industry, the economics of sports sponsorship, the economics of major sports events, the economics of professional team sports, and the economic relationship between sport and broadcasting.In the first edition of this book p 606 $aLeisure$xEconomic aspects 606 $aRecreation$xEconomic aspects 606 $aSports$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aLeisure$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aRecreation$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aSports$xEconomic aspects. 676 $a338.4/7796 676 $a790 700 $aGratton$b Chris$f1948-$0855489 701 $aTaylor$b Peter$f1949-$0855490 701 $aGratton$b Chris$f1948-$0855489 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910653494503321 996 $aEconomics of sport and recreation$91909792 997 $aUNINA
