TY - BOOK AU - Ticciati, R. TI - Quantum field theory for mathematicians / SN - 9780521060257 U1 - 530.143 PY - 1999/// CY - Cambridge ; New York : PB - Cambridge University Press, KW - Quantum field theory N1 - Includes Index N2 - Ticciati's approach to quantum field theory falls between building a mathematical model of the subject and presenting the mathematics that physicists actually use. It begins with the need to combine special relativity and quantum mechanics and culminates in a basic understanding of the standard model of electroweak and strong interactions. The book is divided into five parts: canonical quantization of scalar fields, Weyl, Dirac and vector fields, functional integral quantization, the standard model of the electroweak and strong interactions, renormalization. This should be a useful reference for those interested in quantum theory and related areas of function theory, functional analysis, differential geometry or topological invariant theory ER -
