FEYNMAN MOTIVES
by Matilde Marcolli (California Institute of Technology, USA)

Feynman Motives presents recent and ongoing research work aimed at understanding the mysterious relation between the computations of Feynman integrals in perturbative quantum field theory and the theory of motives of algebraic varieties and their periods. One of the main questions in the field is understanding when the residues of Feynman integrals in perturbative quantum field theory evaluate to periods of mixed Tate motives. The question originates from the occurrence of multiple zeta values in Feynman integrals calculations observed by Broadhurst and Kreimer.

The text is aimed at researchers in mathematical physics, high energy physics, number theory and algebraic geometry. Partly based on lecture notes for a graduate course given by the author at Caltech in the fall of 2008, it can also be used by graduate students interested in working in this area.

FEYNMAN'S THESIS — A NEW APPROACH TO QUANTUM THEORY
edited by Laurie M Brown

"Historians and physicists alike will enjoy this easy-to-read little book... The thesis itself is a masterpiece of clear exposition... it is written in Feynman's uniquely chatty style, and reminiscent of the famous Feynman lectures. It is a delight to read and is likely to offer an insight, even to non-physicists, into both physics and the workings of Feynman's mind. I would not hesitate to recommend the book to anyone — working physicists, historians, philosophers and even 'curious fellows' who would like to 'peak over the shoulder' of one of the 20th century's great physicists at work."

PATH INTEGRALS IN QUANTUM MECHANICS, STATISTICS, POLYMER PHYSICS, AND FINANCIAL MARKETS
5th Edition
by Hagen Kleinert

"Kleinert's book presents the reader with a very complete and very thorough discussion of path integration... a new extensive and, again, rather complete chapter has been added on the use of path integration techniques in the analysis of financial markets. This chapter would do well in any high-level course on stochastic financial models and is a wonderful occasion for candidate mathematical and theoretical physicists to realize what great potential there hides still in the methodologies and techniques that have been developed... It profits from the clarity and conciseness that is also a hallmark of Kleinert's scientific papers... this volume is highly recommendable for any student considering majoring in theoretical physics or chemistry, and an absolute must for any lecturer in this area... In fact, I don't know of any excuse not to have your own copy."
