Summary: "Quantum physics has been highly successful for more than 90 years. Nevertheless, a rigorous construction of interacting quantum field theory is still missing. Moreover, it is still unclear how to combine quantum physics and general relativity in a unified physical theory. Attacking these challenging problems of contemporary physics requires highly advanced mathematical methods as well as radically new physical concepts. This book presents different physical ideas and mathematical approaches in this direction. It contains a carefully selected cross-section of lectures which took place in autumn 2014 at the sixth conference "Quantum Mathematical Physics--A Bridge between Mathematics and Physics'' in Regensburg, Germany."--Page 4 of cover.
Item Description: "The present volume is based on the international conference Quantum Mathematical Physics -- -- A Bridge between Mathematics and Physics that was held at the University of Regensburg (Germany) from September 29 to October 2, 2014"--Page vii.
