FIELD THEORY (Second Edition)
A Path Integral Approach
This unique book describes quantum field theory completely within the context
of path integrals. With its utility in a variety of fields in physics,
the subject matter is primarily developed within the context of quantum
mechanics before going into specialized areas.
Adding new material keenly requested by readers, this second
edition is an important expansion of the popular first edition.
Two extra chapters cover path integral quantization of gauge
theories and anomalies, and a new section extends the
supersymmetry chapter, where singular potentials in
supersymmetric systems are described.
Contents:
Path Integrals and Quantum Mechanics
Harmonic Oscillator
Generating Functional
Path Integrals for Fermions
Supersymmetry
Semi-Classical Methods
Path Integral for the Double Well
Path Integral for Relativistic Theories
Effective Action
Invariances and Their Consequences
Gauge Theories
Anomalies
Systems at Finite Temperature
Ising Model
Readership: Researchers and practitioners in high energy,
theoretical and quantum physics.
