商品描述

The only graduate-level textbook on quantum field theory that fully integrates perspectives from high-energy, condensed-matter, and statistical physics

Quantum field theory was originally developed to describe quantum electrodynamics and other fundamental problems in high-energy physics, but today has become an invaluable conceptual and mathematical framework for addressing problems across physics, including in condensed-matter and statistical physics. With this expansion of applications has come a new and deeper understanding of quantum field theory--yet this perspective is still rarely reflected in teaching and textbooks on the subject. Developed from a year-long graduate course Eduardo Fradkin has taught for years to students of high-energy, condensed-matter, and statistical physics, this comprehensive textbook provides a fully multicultural approach to quantum field theory, covering the full breadth of its applications in one volume.

  • Brings together perspectives from high-energy, condensed-matter, and statistical physics in both the main text and exercises
  • Takes students from basic techniques to the frontiers of physics
  • Pays special attention to the relation between measurements and propagators and the computation of cross sections and response functions
  • Focuses on renormalization and the renormalization group, with an emphasis on fixed points, scale invariance, and their role in quantum field theory and phase transitions
  • Other topics include non-perturbative phenomena, anomalies, and conformal invariance
  • Features numerous examples and extensive problem sets
  • Also serves as an invaluable resource for researchers

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這是一本唯一一本結合高能物理、凝態物理和統計物理觀點的量子場論研究生教科書。

量子場論最初是為了描述量子電動力學和其他高能物理的基本問題而發展的,但如今已成為解決物理學各個領域問題的寶貴概念和數學框架,包括凝態物理和統計物理。隨著應用範圍的擴大,對量子場論的理解也變得更加深入,然而這種觀點在教學和教科書中仍然很少見。這本教科書是Eduardo Fradkin多年來對高能物理、凝態物理和統計物理學生授課的綜合成果,提供了一種全面的多元文化量子場論方法,將其應用的廣度涵蓋在一本書中。

主文和習題中結合了高能物理、凝態物理和統計物理的觀點。

從基本技巧到物理學前沿,引導學生深入研究。

特別關注測量和傳播子之間的關係,以及截面和響應函數的計算。

專注於重整化和重整化群,強調固定點、尺度不變性在量子場論和相變中的作用。

其他主題包括非微擾現象、反常和共形不變性。

提供大量例子和廣泛的問題集。

同時也是研究人員的寶貴資源。
