Most pedagogical texts on QFT are geared toward budding professional physicists, however, whereas mathematical accounts are abstract and difficult to relate to the physics. This book bridges the gap. While the treatment is rigorous whenever possible, the accent is not on formality but on explaining what the physicists do and why, using precise mathematical language. In particular, it covers in detail the mysterious procedure of renormalization. Written for readers with a mathematical background but no previous knowledge of physics and largely self-contained, it presents both basic physical ideas from special relativity and quantum mechanics and advanced mathematical concepts in complete detail. It will be of interest to mathematicians wanting to learn about QFT and, with nearly 300 exercises, also to physics students seeking greater rigor than they typically find in their courses"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Quantum field theory. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Talagrand, Michel, 1952- $t What is a quantum field theory? $b First edition. $d New York : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781108225144 $w (DLC) 2021020787 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717024813.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=94E75C2872D911EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
