This highly pedagogical textbook for graduate students in particle,
theoretical and mathematical physics, explores advanced topics of
quantum field theory. Clearly divided into two parts; the first
focuses on instantons with a detailed exposition of instantons in
quantum mechanics, supersymmetric quantum mechanics, the large
order behavior of perturbation theory, and Yang-Mills theories,
before moving on to examine the large N expansion in quantum field
theory. The organised presentation style, in addition to detailed
mathematical derivations, worked examples and applications
throughout, enables students to gain practical experience with the
tools necessary to start research. The author includes recent
developments on the large order behavior of perturbation theory and
on large N instantons, and updates existing treatments of classic
topics, to ensure that this is a practical and contemporary guide
for students developing their understanding of the intricacies of
quantum field theory.
