Quantum field theory (QFT) is one of the great achievements of
physics, of profound interest to mathematicians. 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.
