However, the rise of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and the Standard Model has made it urgent to have a fully modern textbook for the 1990s and beyond. Building on the foundation of QED, Quantum Field Theory: A Modern Introduction presents a clear and comprehensive discussion of the gauge revolution and the theoretical and experimental evidence which makes the Standard Model the leading theory of subatomic phenomena. The book is divided into three parts: Part I, Fields and Renormalization, lays a solid foundation by presenting canonical quantization, Feynman rules and scattering matrices, and renormalization theory. Part II, Gauge Theory and the Standard Model, focuses on the Standard Model and discusses path integrals, gauge theory, spontaneous symmetry breaking, the renormalization group, and BPHZ quantization. Part III, Non-perturbative Methods and Unification, discusses more advanced methods which now form an essential part of field theory, such as critical phenomena, lattice gauge theory, instantons, supersymmetry, quantum gravity, supergravity, and superstrings. 38168 1993 Quantum Field Theory: A Modern Introduction total:24|5:3|4:7|3:10|2:4|1:0| 24 81 52 2 2 0 false false Thu May 14 13:59:03 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 14:09:18 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jul 24 20:06:53 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 24 20:07:56 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Oct 31 17:40:32 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 17:40:32 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 20 16:57:23 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 16:57:23 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Sep 22 06:36:13 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 06:36:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 15 16:36:51 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 16:36:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 10 11:31:46 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 11:31:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 28 13:08:58 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 13:08:58 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Thu Aug 20 10:40:43 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 10:40:43 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Wed Aug 19 10:10:28 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 10:10:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 17 20:25:05 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 20:25:05 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Aug 08 12:02:48 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 08 12:02:48 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Aug 05 11:16:03 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 11:16:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 12 06:09:13 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 06:09:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 11 10:24:51 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 11 10:25:06 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jun 29 18:54:44 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 18:54:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 30 08:22:20 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 08:22:20 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Wed May 27 20:48:06 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 20:48:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 21 14:09:53 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 14:09:53 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri May 08 13:22:19 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 13:22:19 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=38397
