Introduction to gauge field theory

摘要: This book provides a postgraduate level introduction to gauge field theory entirely from path integral standpoint without any reliance on the more traditional method of canonical quantisation. The ideas are developed by quantising self-interacting scalar theory, and then used deal with all theories relevant particle physics, quantum electrodynamics, chromodynamics, electroweak grand unified theories, at non-zero temperature. use these make precise experimental predictions requires development renormalised theories. knowledge relativistic mechanics, but not theory. topics covered form foundation for modern providing comprehensive coverage emphasis details actual calculations rather than phenomenology applications.
