內容簡介: |
An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory is a textbook intended
for the graduate physics course covering relativistic quantum
mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, and Feynman diagrams. The
authors make these subjects accessible through carefully worked
examples illustrating the technical aspects of the subject, and
intuitive explanations of what is going on behind the mathematics.
After presenting the basics of quantum electrodynamics, the authors
discuss the theory of renormalization and its relation to
statistical mechanics, and introduce the renormalization group.
This discussion sets the stage for a discussion of the physical
principles that underlie the fundamental interactions of elementary
particle physics and their description by gauge field theories.
