Digestible Quantum Field Theory by Andrei Smilga | (PDF) Free Download

Description

This book gives an intermediate level treatment of quantum field theory, appropriate to a reader with a first degree in physics and a working knowledge of special relativity and quantum mechanics. It aims to give the reader some understanding of what QFT is all about, without delving deep into actual calculations of Feynman diagrams or similar.The author serves up a seven‐course menu, which begins with a brief introductory Aperitif. This is followed by the Hors d’oeuvres, which set the scene with a broad survey of the Universe, its theoretical description, and how the ideas of QFT developed during the last century. In the next course, the Art of Cooking, the author recaps on some basic facts of analytical mechanics, relativity, quantum mechanics and also presents some nutritious “extras” in mathematics (group theory at the elementary level) and in physics (theory of scattering). After these preparations, the reader should have a good appetite for the Entrées ‐ the central part of the book where the Standard Model is described and explained. After Trou Normand, the restive pause including human stories about physicists and no formulas, the author serves the Dessert, devoted to supersymmetry (a very beautiful theory that is still awaiting a direct experimental confirmation), to general relativity and to the mystery of quantum gravity.

User’s Reviews

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

⭐A beautiful work. Has just the right balance to work for beginners or experts. Full of nice (and new to me~~expert) stories (from an often missed Russian perspective) of our field (particle physics). Can taste the lifelong passion of the author exhaustively giving a flavor of particle physics and its possible truths including those just over the horizon of current knowledge/experiments.

⭐Unfortunately the author does not understand how the things work in this world

⭐Nice book
