Description for Perturbative Quantum Electrodynamics and Axiomatic Field Theory (Theoretical and Mathematical Physics)
Hardcover. This work demonstrates that fundamental concepts and methods from phenomenological particle physics can be derived rigorously from well-defined general assumptions in a mathematically clean way. Readers should include researchers and anyone with a basic knowledge of quantum field theory. Series: Theoretical and Mathematical Physics. Num Pages: 364 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHP; PHQ; UYA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 22. Weight in Grams: 698.
This book is concerned with relativistic quantum field theory, especially QED, its most successful example. It is set in the no-man's land between the math ematically rigorous but numerically barren general field theory of the math ematical physicist and the computationally fertile but mathematically some times adventurous field theory of the more phenomenologically inclined, and it aims at demonstrating that closer contact between these two disparate cultures may be of benefit to both. Perturbative QED serves as an exam ple. It is shown how the rules of perturbative quantum field theory, one of the major tools of phenomenology, can be ... Read more

Reviews for Perturbative Quantum Electrodynamics and Axiomatic Field Theory (Theoretical and Mathematical Physics)
"In the authors words: ‘This is a frankly idiosyncratic book.’ Although to some extent it is a general introduction to the basic problems of quantum electrodynamics (QED), this is given from a particular point of view. [...] The main point of view the author takes is that ‘fundamental objects of the theory are quantized fields. Particles play no role in ... Read more
