Quantum Field Theory has become the universal language of most
modern theoretical physics. This introductory textbook shows how
this beautiful theory offers the correct mathematical framework to
describe and understand the fundamental interactions of elementary
particles. The book begins with a brief reminder of basic classical
field theories, electrodynamics and general relativity, as well as
their symmetry properties, and proceeds with the principles of
quantisation following Feynman's path integral approach. Special
care is used at every step to illustrate the correct mathematical
formulation of the underlying assumptions. Gauge theories and the
problems encountered in their quantisation are discussed in detail.
The last chapters contain a full description of the Standard Model
of particle physics and the attempts to go beyond it, such as grand
unified theories and supersymmetry. Written for advanced
undergraduate and beginning graduate students in physics and
mathematics, the book could also serve as a reference for active
researchers in the field.
