Advanced Topics in Quantum Field Theory: A Lecture Course by M. Shifman (PDF)

Description

Since the advent of Yang–Mills theories and supersymmetry in the 1970s, quantum field theory – the basis of the modern description of physical phenomena at the fundamental level – has undergone revolutionary developments. 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.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The book broadens the perspective of the standard model into supersymmetry and string theory enjoyable even for those not having an expert knowledge. Just basics of math appropriate for this field. It is ritten in a clear format and a very pleasant design, making the message very accessible.Very exciting to see more of this kind of books. This is what the modern knowledge transfer looks like.

⭐A great book written by one of the foremost theorists in the field ! Covers many aspects of non-perturbative field theory in a pedagogical and easy to read manner.

⭐Look at the photo, this is the second day when I opened the book, the whole front hard cover just dropped by itself. Besides, many pages in the middle are not glued properly. The book is printed by Amazon’s Print On Demand facility in St Louis, not by Cambridge’s POD facility in Kentucky.This review is just for the quality of Amazon’s POD hardcover books, not for the content of the book.

⭐Concise and intuitive

⭐The book is clearly printed with substandard procedures and the binding is just terrible. After a week it came apart on its own. I basically wasted €60.
