Synopsis
"This book deals with new applications for coupled map lattices in quantum field theories and elementary particle physics"--P. xiii.
Booknews
This book describes new applications for spatio-temporal chaotic dynamical systems in elementary particle physics and quantum field theories. The stochastic quantization approach of Parisi and Wu is extended to more general deterministic chaotic processes as generated by coupled map lattices. Chaotic strings are introduced as spatio- temporal chaotic models of vacuum fluctuations. The book is written for an interdisciplinary readership of graduate students and researchers interested in nonlinear dynamics, stochastic processes, statistical mechanics, quantum field theory, and string theory. The author is affiliated with the School of Mathematical Sciences at Queen Mary, University of London. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
