Description for Quantum Field Theory: From Operators to Path Integrals
Paperback. .
A new, updated and enhanced edition of the classic work, which was welcomed for its general approach and self-sustaining organization of the chapters.
Written by a highly respected textbook writer and researcher, this book has a more general scope and adopts a more practical approach than other books. It includes applications of condensed matter physics, first developing traditional concepts, including Feynman graphs, before moving on to such key topics as functional integrals, statistical mechanics and Wilson's renormalization group. The author takes care to explain the connection between the latter and conventional perturbative renormalization. Due to the rapid advance ... Read more

Reviews for Quantum Field Theory: From Operators to Path Integrals
"The description of low dimensional systems, e.g. one-dimensional conductors, is added. Moreover, in the appendix C, Polchinski's renormation equation is derived, solved and applied to the asymptotically free scalar field." (Zentralblatt MATH, 2010) "Written by a highly respected textbook writer and researcher, this book has a more general scope and adopts a more practical approach than ... Read more
