Hamiltonian Mechanics of Gauge Systems

Informationen zum Autor Lev V. Prokhorov is a Leading Research Fellow at the V. A. Fock Institute of Physics at St Petersburg State University and the acting head of the Laboratory of Quantum Networks. He is known for his work in the fields of effective Lagrangians, deep inelastic scattering at small transfer momenta, grand unification theory, path integrals, infrared and collinear divergences. His current research focuses on emergence of quantum mechanics and the nature of physical space. Sergei V. Shabanov is an Associate Professor of Mathematics and Affiliate Professor of Physics at the University of Florida, Gainesville. His research focuses on gauge theories and the path integral formalism, including the topological defects in lattice gauge theories and applications of knot solitons to effective infrared Yang–Mills theories, along with nanophotonics and plasma physics. His achievements include an Alexander von Humboldt research fellowship.
