Quantum Field Theory

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A modern pedagogic introduction to the ideas and techniques of quantum field theory. After a brief overview of particle physics, the quantum theory of scalar and spinor fields, and then of gauge fields, is developed. Concluding chapters survey 'topological' objects and supersymmetry.
