商品描述

This book is a translation of the 8th edition of Prof. Kazuhiko Nishijima's classical textbook on quantum field theory. It is based on the lectures the Author gave to students and researchers with diverse interests over several years in Japan. The book includes both the historical development of QFT and its practical use in theoretical and experimental particle physics, presented in a pedagogical and transparent way and, in several parts, in a unique and original manner.

The Author, Academician Nishijima, is the inventor (independently from Murray Gell-Mann) of the third (besides the electric charge and isospin) quantum number in particle physics: strangeness. He is also most known for his works on several other theories describing particles such as electron and muon neutrinos, and his work on the so-called Gell-Mann-Nishijima formula.

The present English translation from its 8th Japanese edition has been initiated and taken care of by theeditors Prof. M. Chaichian and Dr. A. Tureanu from the University of Helsinki, who were close collaborators of Prof. Nishijima. Dr. Yuki Sato, a researcher in particle physics at the University of Nagoya, most kindly accepted to undertake the heavy task of translation. The translation of the book can be regarded as a tribute to Prof. Nishijima's memory, for his fundamental contributions to particle physics and quantum field theory.

The book presents with utmost clarity and originality the most important topics and applications of QFT which by now constitute the established core of the theory. It is intended for a wide circle of graduate and post-graduate students, as well as researchers in theoretical and particle physics. In addition, the book can be a useful source as a basic material or supplementary literature for lecturers giving a course on quantum field theory.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書是對西島和彥教授的量子場論經典教材第八版的翻譯。它基於作者多年來在日本向具有不同興趣的學生和研究人員所進行的講座。該書以教學和透明的方式呈現了量子場論的歷史發展以及在理論和實驗粒子物理學中的實際應用,並在幾個部分中以獨特和原創的方式呈現。

作者西島學院士是粒子物理學中第三個(除了電荷和同位旋之外)量子數的發明者(與穆雷·蓋爾曼獨立)。他還以描述電子和蟲子中微子等粒子的幾個其他理論以及所謂的蓋爾曼-西島公式而聞名。

這本書的英文翻譯是由赫爾辛基大學的編輯M. Chaichian教授和A. Tureanu博士發起和照顧的,他們是西島教授的密切合作者。名古屋大學的粒子物理學研究員佐藤由紀博士非常慷慨地接受了這項繁重的翻譯任務。這本書的翻譯可以被視為對西島教授對粒子物理學和量子場論的基本貢獻的致敬。

這本書以極大的清晰度和獨創性呈現了量子場論的最重要的主題和應用,這些主題和應用現在已經成為該理論的核心。它適用於廣泛的研究生和博士生,以及理論和粒子物理學的研究人員。此外,這本書也可以作為量子場論課程的基礎材料或補充文獻的有用來源。
