Over the last twenty years quantum field theory has become not only the framework for the discussion of all fundamental interactions (except gravitation) but also for the understanding of second-order phase transitions in statistical mechanics. This advanced volume is based on graduate courses and s
Quantum field theory has become the framework for the discussion of all fundamental interactions except gravity, and for the understanding of second order phase transitions in statistical mechanics. This advanced text for theoretical particle physicists and statistical physicists has been updated to
Introduced as a quantum extension of Maxwell's classical theory, quantum electrodynamics has been the first example of a Quantum Field Theory (QFT). Eventually, QFT has become the framework for the discussion of all fundamental interactions at the microscopic scale except, possibly, gravity. More su
