The idea of this book originated from two series of lectures given
by us at the Physics Department of the Catholic University of
Petr6polis, in Brazil. Its aim is to present an introduction to the
"algebraic" method in the perturbative renormalization of
relativistic quantum field theory. Although this approach goes back
to the pioneering works of Symanzik in the early 1970s and was
systematized by Becchi, Rouet and Stora as early as 1972-1974, its
full value has not yet been widely appreciated by the practitioners
of quantum field theory. Becchi, Rouet and Stora have, however,
shown it to be a powerful tool for proving the renormalizability of
theories with (broken) symmetries and of gauge theories. We have
thus found it pertinent to collect in a self-contained manner the
available information on algebraic renormalization, which was
previously scattered in many original papers and in a few older
review articles. Although we have taken care to adapt the level of
this book to that of a po- graduate (Ph. D. ) course, more advanced
researchers will also certainly find it useful. The deeper
knowledge of renormalization theory we hope readers will acquire
should help them to face the difficult problems of quantum field
theory. It should also be very helpful to the more phenomenology
oriented readers who want to famili- ize themselves with the
formalism of renormalization theory, a necessity in view of the
sophisticated perturbative calculations currently being done, in
particular in the standard model of particle interactions.
