D. Bailin (Author), Alexander Love (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1993 | ISBN-10: 075030281X | ISBN-13: 978-0750302814 | Edition: Revised

Introduction to Gauge Field Theory provides comprehensive coverage of modern relativistic quantum field theory, emphasizing the details of actual calculations rather than the phenomenology of the applications.
Forming a foundation in the subject, the book assumes knowledge of relativistic quantum mechanics, but not of quantum field theory. The book is ideal for graduate students, advanced undergraduates, and researchers in the field of particle physics.

This review is from: Introduction to Gauge Field Theory Revised Edition (Graduate Student Series in Physics) (Paperback)

This book is a very nice introduction if you already have some notions of QFT. It can happily supplement Lowell Brown's book for instance. Its main characteristics is conciseness, it goes straight to the point, in the minimum expenditure of time and effort, without sacrifying mathematical correctness. Unfortunately some important topics are almost absent from the book, such as Ward identities, or infrared divergences. But the book remains self-contained despite this.
