Quantum Non-linear Sigma-Models From Quantum Field Theory to Supersymmetry, Conformal Field Theory, Black Holes and Strings

The book is considered a systematic presentation of the modern quantum field theory of non-linear sigma-models. The content is based on original papers. Geometric properties and renormalization of a generic non-linear sigma-model are considered in detail, and illustrated by explicit multi-loop calcu...
