Epiloguestidious critic may even question whether we have reached our desired destination. To such a critic (assuming that he is a baseball fan!) we say that if we have not completed the run, we have at least got to first base.

https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-11945-7We mentioned in the previous chapter that a typical field can be looked upon as a dynamical system with infinite degrees of freedom. In this section we briefly review some dynamical properties of fields at the classical level to develop concepts that are analogous to those of Lagrangian mechanics.

https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-663-10879-5We have seen in Chapter 5 that the concept of spontaneous symmetry-breaking plays an important role in the description of gauge theories. It turns out that this process also plays a crucial role in the dynamics of the early universe.

https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-0348-5247-0The analysis in the last chapter shows that conformal fluctuations make the classical solution completely insignificant near the spacetime singularity. In order to proceed further it is necessary to examine viable quantum mechanical descriptions which would replace the singular spacetime geometry. This is the aim of the present chapter.

Quantum Theory in Curved SpacetimeThe previous chapters of the book have developed the various features of quantum theory and general relativity separately. The next logical step would have been to construct a quantum theory of gravity interacting with matter fields. Unfortunately, this grand synthesis still remains a distant dream.
