This is a commemoration volume to honor Professor M Veltman on the
ocassion of his 60th birthday. It contains articles on Gauge field
theories, a subject to which Prof. Veltman has made many important
and seminal contributions. Some of the contributions are based on
invited talks given at the Conference held in Ann Arbor, Michigan,
May 16 - 18 1991. The articles in the book cover a wide range of
topics from formal and phenomenological to the experimental aspects
of Gauge theories.

Path integrals provide a powerful method for describing quantum
phenomena. This book introduces the quantum mechanics of particles
that move in curved space by employing path integrals and then
using them to compute anomalies in quantum field theories. The
authors start by deriving path integrals for particles moving in
curved space and their supersymmetric generalizations. They then
discuss the regularization schemes essential to constructing and
computing these path integrals. This topic is used to introduce
regularization and renormalization in quantum field theories in a
wider context. These methods are then applied to discuss and
calculate anomalies in quantum field theory. Such anomalies provide
enormous constraints in the search for physical theories of
elementary particles, quantum gravity and string theories. An
advanced text for researchers and graduate students of quantum
field theory and string theory, the first part is also a
stand-alone introduction to path integrals in quantum mechanics.
