🚀🤓 Because everyone knows the best way to spend your time is writing a doctoral thesis on #Linux #bugs so you can *maybe* win $51k from Google. But hey, at least you'll have a killer LinkedIn post about how you beat a kernel PoW with AVX512 and maybe two people at a conference will be impressed. 🙄👏

Two years ago, I began writing my #doctoralThesis in theoretical #physics. Most effort went into giving a very detailed pedagogical account of what the #renormalization #HopfAlgebra in #QuantumFieldTheory does, and why it is natural and transparent from a physical perspective.
One year ago, my referees recommended in their reports to publish the thesis as a book, and today I received the printed copies!
It was exciting to go through all the steps of actually publishing a book, and I hope that it will be of use to convince physicists that the Hopf algebra structure in #QFT is not a weird mathematical conundrum, but it actually encodes the very way physicists have been thinking of renormalization since the 1950s: Parametrize a theory by quantities one can actually measure, instead of fictional expansion parameters.
