This is the first systematic and comprehensive text devoted specifically to modern field theory, bringing readers to the cutting edge of current research. The book emphasizes nonperturbative phenomena and supersymmetry. It includes a thorough discussion of various phases of gauge theories, extended objects and their quantization, and global supersymmetry from a modern perspective. Featuring extensive cross-referencing from traditional topics to recent breakthroughs in the field, it prepares students for independent research. The side boxes summarizing the main results and over 70 exercises make this an indispensable book for graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics. 606 $aQuantum field theory 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 676 $a530.14/3 686 $aSCI040000$2bisacsh 700 $aShifman$b Mikhail A.$066980 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778951403321 996 $aAdvanced topics in quantum field theory$93745233 997 $aUNINA
