Beskrivning
The importance and the beauty of modern quantum field theory resides in the power and variety of its methods and ideas, which find application in domains as different as particle physics, cosmology, condensed matter, statistical mechanics and critical phenomena. This book introduces the reader to the modern developments, assuming no previous knowledge of quantum field theory. Along with standard topics like Feynman diagrams, the book discusses effective lagrangians, renormalization group equations, the path integral formulation, spontaneous symmetry breaking and non-abelian gauge theories. The inclusion of more advanced topics will also make this a most useful book for graduate students and researchers.

  1. 5/5 I.M.

    Although it's an introductory book, it has very good and detailed lessons; among them I can mention:
    I was always confused about groups and their representation and their relation to QFT. Reading chapter 2 of this book was completely solved the problem for me.
    In chapter 3 you find a really nice and rigorous proof of Noether's theorem.
    In chapter 4 You can find a detailed procedure of Quantization of Electromagnetic field.
    Chapter 5 contains derivation of LSZ formula for scalar field.
    Chapter 6 is one of the best ones in which you can find really clear and helpful formulas and also their derivation for calculating decay rates or cross sections.
    Also Chapter 10 is really good to have taste about non abelian gauge theories.

    An important thing which made it easier for me to read and understand is that almost every chapter has 2-3 solved problems(sometimes long ones) and exercises are left for the reader. Chapter 12 is dedicated to some hints or the result of exercises. Hence you can check your solutions.
