As a fundamental branch of theoretical physics, quantum field
theory has led, in the last 20 years, to spectacular progress in
our understanding of phase transitions and elementary particles.
This textbook emphasizes the underlying unity of the concepts and
methods used in both domains, and presents in clear language topics
such as the perturbative expansion, Feynman diagrams,
renormalization, and the renormalization group. It contains
detailed applications of critical phenomena to condensed matter
physics, such as the calculation of critical exponents and a
discussion of the XY model. Applications to particle physics
include quantum electrodynamics and chromodynamics, electroweak
interactions, and lattice gauge theories. The book is based on
courses given over several years on statistical mechanics and field
theory, and is written at graduate level. It attempts to guide the
reader through a somewhat difficult and sometimes intricate subject
in as clear a manner as possible, leading to a level of
understanding where more advanced textbooks and research articles
will be accessible. The only textbook covering the subject at this
level, the work is thus an ideal guide for graduate and
postgraduate students in physics, researchers in quantum and
statistical field theory, and those from other fields of physics
seeking an introduction to quantum field theory. A large number of
problems are given to test the reader's grasp of the ideas.
