Duncan

Concept Framework Quantum Field Theory C

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The book provides a step by step construction of the framework of relativistic quantum field theory, starting from a minimal set of basic foundational postulates. The emphasis is on a careful and detailed description of the conceptual subtleties of modern field theory, many of which are glossed over in other texts.
