This up-dated and expanded text examines gauge theories and their symmetries with an emphasis on their physical and technical aspects. Beginning with a new chapter giving a systematic introduction to classical field theories and a short discussion of their canonical quantization and the discrete symmetries C, P and T, the book provides a brief exposition of perturbation theory, the renormalization programme, and the use of the renormalization group equation. It then explores topics of current research interest including chiral symmetry and its breaking, anomalies, and low energy effective lagrangians and some basics of supersymmetry. A chapter on basics of the electroweak theory is now included. Professor Pokorski, a distinguished theoretical physicist, has presented here a self-contained text for graduate courses in physics; the only prerequisite is some grounding in quantum field theory. 410 0$aCambridge monographs on mathematical physics. 606 $aGauge fields (Physics) 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aQuantum chromodynamics 606 $aSymmetry (Physics) 615 0$aGauge fields (Physics) 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aQuantum chromodynamics. 615 0$aSymmetry (Physics) 676 $a530.14/35 700 $aPokorski$b Stefan$f1942-$0746787 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455044103321 996 $aGauge field theories$91490970 997 $aUNINA
