| Summary, etc | The methods of quantum field theory underpin many conceptual advances in contemporary condensed matter physics and neighbouring fields. This book provides a praxis-oriented and pedagogical introduction to quantum field theory in many-particle physics, emphasizing the application of theory to real physical systems. This third edition is organized into two parts: the first half of the text presents a streamlined introduction, elevating readers to a level where they can engage with contemporary research literature, from the introduction of many-body techniques and functional integration to renormalization group methods, and the second half addresses a range of advanced topics including modern aspects of gauge theory, topological and relativistic quantum matter, and condensed matter physics out of thermal equilibrium. At all stages, the text seeks a balance between methodological aspects of quantum field theory and practical applications. Extended problems with worked solutions provide a bridge between formal theory and a research-oriented approach. Takes a first principles approach that assumes minimal existing knowledge of quantum field theory and its application in the condensed matter setting Develops concepts using a problem-based approach and illustrates ideas using applications from condensed matter, making the text suitable for graduate courses The revised edition of the text now includes more advanced and topical subject areas, equipping young scientists with a repertoire of concepts and methodologies in field theory |
