With this expansion of applications has come a new and deeper understanding of quantum field theory--yet this perspective is still rarely reflected in teaching and textbooks on the subject. Developed from a year-long graduate course Eduardo Fradkin has taught for years to students of high-energy, condensed-matter, and statistical physics, this comprehensive textbook provides a fully \"multicultural\" approach to quantum field theory, covering the full breadth of its applications in one volume.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrings together perspectives from high-energy, condensed-matter, and statistical physics in both the main text and exercises\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakes students from basic techniques to the frontiers of physics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePays special attention to the relation between measurements and propagators and the computation of cross sections and response functions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocuses on renormalization and the renormalization group, with an emphasis on fixed points, scale invariance, and their role in quantum field theory and phase transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther topics include non-perturbative phenomena, anomalies, and conformal invariance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures numerous examples and extensive problem sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso serves as an invaluable resource for researchers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eduardo Fradkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691149089\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691149080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 8.40w x 1.80d","brand":"Eduardo Fradkin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43994555646207,"sku":"9780691149080","price":91.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f874f37b-6260-4fb3-9c6f-ad0fc839f57f.jpg?v=1683330852","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quantum-field-theory-eduardo-fradkin-9780691149080","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
