The former is represented by tutorial reviews on non-commutative geometry, on space-time discretization and renormalization and on gauge field path integrals.  The latter one by lectures on cohomology, on stochastic geometry and on mathematical tools for the effective action in quantum gravity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book will benefit everyone working or entering the field of quantum gravity research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-06-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783642118968\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-11897-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 350\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481366753420,"sku":"9783642118968","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783642118968_111c7bb9-9970-4eb5-9a70-cc0fc687dd95.jpg?v=1775673121","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783642118968","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
