It gives a concise introduction to advanced concepts that are important for research in elementary particle theory. Topics include the path integral, loop expansion, Feynman rules, various regularization methods, renormalization, running couplings and the renormalization group, fixed points and asymptotic freedom, effective action, Coleman-Weinberg effective potential, fermions, the axial anomaly, QED, gauge fixing, nonabelian gauge theories, unitarity, optical theorem, Slavnov-Taylor identities, beta function of Yang-Mills theory, a heuristic derivation of asymptotic freedom, instantons in SU(N) gauge theory, theta vacua and the strong CP problem. Exercises are included and are intended for advanced graduate students or postdocs seeking to deepen their understanding of QFT.SpringerBriefs in physics,2191-5431Quantum field theoryQuantum field theory.530.143Cline James M.1960-845491MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996418445903316Advanced concepts in quantum field theory1887559UNISA00994nam0-2200265 --450 991083910080332120240318083715.020240318d1959----kmuy0itay5050 baitaITf 001yyRuoli di anzianitàliberi docenti iscritti presso le Università e gli Istituti superiori d'istruzionesituazione al 31 dicembre 1959Ministero della pubblica istruzione, Direzione generale istruzione superioreRomaIstituto poligrafico dello Stato19591190, [1] c. di tav. ripieg.25 cmIn cop.: 1960UniversitàPersonale docenteRuoli di anzianità195935023itaItalia: Direzione generale dell'istruzione superiore07019818ITUNINAREICATUNIMARCBK9910839100803321A MIC 1723437/2024FAGBCFAGBCRuoli di anzianità4137752UNINA
