Reviews
'Based on the author's renowned expertise, this insightful masterpiece delves into noncommutative geometry, matrix models, and their role in string theory and quantum gravity. The book is consistently written from a physics viewpoint with specific examples, offering fresh perspectives and suggesting fascinating possibilities for novice and seasoned researchers alike.' Hikaru Kawai, National Taiwan University, 'Current approaches to the great puzzle of quantum gravity, with demonstrated potential for success, include string theory (or M-theory) and noncommutative geometry. This book masterfully brings together these two approaches, providing a perspective as well as background material. It will be a valuable asset to researchers in quantum gravity.' Parameswaran Nair, The City College of New York, 'This text provides an invaluable introduction to quantum spaces, quantum geometry and matrix models, culminating in in-depth discussions of the IKKT and BFSS matrix models, proposed non-perturbative definitions of superstring theory. I highly recommend this book to anyone seriously interested in these topics.' Robert Brandenberger, McGill University, 'The first complete book that puts together over 25 years of contemporary research connecting noncommutative field theory with gravity. Starting at a suitably pedagogical level for use as a textbook in an advanced graduate-level physics course, it elucidates state-of-the-art developments, making it an invaluable reference source for both novices and experts.' Richard J. Szabo, Heriot-Watt University

Synopsis
Building on mathematical structures familiar from quantum mechanics, this book provides an introduction to quantization in a broad context before developing a framework for quantum geometry in Matrix Theory and string theory. Taking a physics-oriented approach to quantum geometry, this framework helps explain the physics of Yang-Mills-type matrix models, leading to a quantum theory of space-time and matter. This novel framework is then applied to Matrix Theory, which is defined through distinguished maximally supersymmetric matrix models related to string theory. A mechanism for gravity is discussed in depth, which emerges as a quantum effect on quantum space-time within Matrix Theory. Using explicit examples and exercises, readers will develop a physical intuition for the mathematical concepts and mechanisms. It will benefit advanced students and researchers in theoretical and mathematical physics, and is a useful resource for physicists and mathematicians interested in the geometrical aspects of quantization in a broader context.on in a broader context.on in a broader context.on in a broader context., The volume provides an introduction to quantization in a broad context, and a systematic development of quantum geometry in Matrix Theory and string theory. It addresses advanced students and researchers in theoretical physics and mathematics, who are interested in quantum aspects of space-time and geometry in a physical context.

- f***f (1592)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseExcellent Seller, Goes the Extra Mile. The Seller Was Incredibly Communicative. Smooth Transaction, Shipped Very Quickly, As Advertised; Good Price; Well Packaged & Delivered Within a Few Days. Item in Described Promised Condition, Thank You Very Much!!!!!!!!!!! A+
- v***4 (116)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchasePurchased 5 car Madison rail car set at auction. Received package well wrapped and in original box. Cars themselves are in excellent condition and mostly as described, although I believe they have seen some track time. That being said, seller offers returns so I'm confident seller was told these cars were new by whomever he got them from. The purchase price was excellent so when averaged with a higher than normal shipping fee it turned out to be an overall good deal.
- r***9 (850)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAwesome price on this vintage Italeri kit. Seller shipped it quickly at an average cost. The kit arrived safely, very carefully packaged in brand new materials. It was delivered just as it appeared in listing and photos. It was listed as used but really new in an open box complete with the decals and instructions. The kit also included extras, an Edward Models PE detail set and Check Master's engine kit. I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and I highly recommend the seller. Thanks!#83 - ITALERI ACH CHINOOK GUNSHIP 1:72 HELICOPTER MODEL KIT #054 - NIOB (#388261291199)
