Description
A rigorous and self-contained text reviewing the fundamentals of quantum field theory and exploring advanced topics and modern techniques.
About the Author
Francois Gelis is a researcher at the Institut de Physique Theorique at Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique (CEA), Saclay and teaches quantum field theory at Ecole Polytechnique. His extensive research has been recognised by awards including the Paul Langevin prize from the French Physical Society in 2015.
Reviews
'Quantum Field Theory: From Basics to Modern Topics, by Francois Gelis, is a very welcome addition to the canon of literature on quantum field theory, impressive both in its breadth and depth. It covers, in a succinct fashion, foundational material in the subject and then treats many more modern developments: effective field theories, anomaly matching, recursion relations for gauge and gravitational amplitudes, strong fields, and more.' Laurence Yaffe, University of Washington
'Though there are many books on quantum field theory, I have found this book valuable for its readable treatment of a diverse selection of modern topics from a uniform viewpoint. Subjects introduced well in this book that are hard to find elsewhere include Schwinger-Keldysh and finite-temperature field theory, modern tools for scattering amplitudes, worldline methods, as well as effective field theory. The discussion is illustrated with a rich set of examples, mainly from high energy physics.' John McGreevy, University of California, San Diego
