Introduction to quantum field theory [2nd ed.]
By: Casalbuoni, Roberto.
Publisher: Chennai World Scientific 2024Edition: 2nd ed.Description: xiv, 365p.ISBN: 9781944660901.Subject(s): Quantum field theoryDDC classification: 530.143 | C261i2 Summary: This book deals with quantum field theory, the language of modern elementary particles physics. Based on university lectures given by the author, this volume provides a detailed technical treatment of quantum field theory that is particularly useful for students; it begins with the quantization of the most important free fields, the scalar, the spin-1/2 and the photon fields, and is then followed by a detailed account of symmetry properties, including a discussion on global and local symmetries and the spontaneous breaking of symmetries. Perturbation theory, one-loop effects for quantum electrodynamics, and renormalization properties are also covered. In this second edition new chapters have been introduced with a general description of path integral quantization both on quantum mechanics and in quantum field theory, with a particular attention to the gauge fields. The path integral quantization of Fermi fields is also discussed.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
