Kerson Huang "Quantum Field Theory: From Operators to Path Integrals"
Wiley-Interscience | 1998-08-13 | ISBN:0471141208 | Djvu | 446 pages | 2,8 Mb
A unique approach to quantum field theory, with emphasis on the principles of renormalization
Quantum field theory is frequently approached from the perspective of particle physics. This
book adopts a more general point of view and includes applications of condensed matter physics.
Written by a highly respected writer and researcher, it first develops traditional concepts,
including Feynman graphs, before moving on to key topics such as functional integrals, statistical
mechanics, and Wilson's renormalization group. The connection between the latter and
conventional perturbative renormalization is explained.
Quantum Field Theory is an exceptional textbook for graduate students familiar with advanced
quantum mechanics as well as physicists with an interest in theoretical physics. It features:
* Coverage of quantum electrodynamics with practical calculations and a discussion of
perturbative renormalization
* A discussion of the Feynman path integrals and a host of current subjects, including the
physical approach to renormalization, spontaneous symmetry breaking and superfluidity, and
topological excitations
* Nineteen self-contained chapters with exercises, supplemented with graphs and charts
