Compiled to illustrate the recent history of Quantum Field Theory
and its trends, this collection of selected reprints by Jurg
Froehlich, a leading theoretician in the field, is a comprehensive
guide of the more mathematical aspects of the subject. Results and
methods of the past fifteen years are reviewed. The analytical
methods employed are non-perturbative and, for the larger part,
mathematically rigorous. Most articles are review articles
surveying certain important developments in quantum field theory
and guiding the reader towards the original literature.The volume
begins with a comprehensive introduction by Jurg Froehlich.The
theory of phase transitions and continuous symmetry breaking is
reviewed in the first section. The second section discusses the
non-perturbative quantization of topological solitons. The third
section is devoted to the study of gauge fields. A paper on the
triviality of 4 - theory in four and more dimensions is found in
the fourth section, while the fifth contains two articles on
"random geometry". The sixth and final part addresses topics in
low-dimensional quantum field theory, including braid statistics,
two-dimensional conformal field theory and an application to
condensed matter theory.
