The importance and the beauty of modern quantum field theory resides inthe power and variety of its methods and ideas, which find applicationin domains as different as particle physics, cosmology, condensedmatter, statistical mechanics and critical phenomena. This bookintroduces the reader to the modern developments, assuming no previousknowledge of quantum field theory. Along with standard topics likeFeynman diagrams, the book discusses effective lagrangians,renormalization group equations, the path integral formulation,spontaneous symmetry breaking and non-abelian gauge theories. Theinclusion of more advanced topics will also make this a most usefulbook for graduate students and researchers.Size: 2.38 MB
