Introduction to Quantum Field Theory

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextLanguage: English Publication details: Kolkata: Levant Books, 1995.Description: xxii, 842p. : illISBN:
  • 8187169524
Subject(s): Other classification:
  • CN30, N5;25-;29
Summary: An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory is a textbook intended for the graduate physics course covering relativistic quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, and Feynman diagrams. The authors make these subjects accessible through carefully worked examples illustrating the technical aspects of the subject, and intuitive explanations of what is going on behind the mathematics. After presenting the basics of quantum electrodynamics, the authors discuss the theory of renormalization and its relation to statistical mechanics, and introduce the renormalization group. This discussion sets the stage for a discussion of the physical principles that underlie the fundamental interactions of elementary particle physics and their description by gauge field theories.
