Renormalization of Quantum Field Theories with Non-linear Field Transformations Proceedings of a Workshop, Held at Ringberg Castle Tegernsee, FRG, February 16–20, 1987

The characteristic feature of many models for field theories based on concepts of differential geometry is their nonlinearity. In this book a systematic exposition of nonlinear transformations in quantum field theory is given. The book starts with a short account of the renormalization theory with e...
