Description for Quantum Field Theory I: Foundations and Abelian and Non-Abelian Gauge Theories
Hardback. Series: Graduate Texts in Physics. Num Pages: 586 pages, 77 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHQ; PHS; PHU. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 167 x 242 x 40. Weight in Grams: 1040.
This textbook covers a broad spectrum of developments in QFT, emphasizing those aspects that are now well consolidated and for which satisfactory theoretical descriptions have been provided. The book is unique in that it offers a new approach to the subject and explores many topics merely touched upon, if covered at all, in standard reference works. A detailed and largely non-technical introductory chapter traces the development of QFT from its inception in 1926. The elegant functional differential approach put forward by Schwinger, referred to as the quantum dynamical (action) principle, and its underlying theory are used systematically ... Read more

Reviews for Quantum Field Theory I: Foundations and Abelian and Non-Abelian Gauge Theories
A very valuable feature of the book is the discussion of many topics, sometimes skipped in quantum field theory books, as well as the explicit and detailed discussion of many applications of quantum field theory to important physical processes. ... The book closes with appendices, useful for explicit computations, and with the solutions of the problems proposed in the text. ... Read more
