This comprehensive and progressive new text presents a variety of
topics that are only briefly touched on in other books; this text
provides a thorough introduction to the techniques of quantum field
theory, which is the theoretical framework for constructing quantum
mechanical models of field-like systems or, equivalently, of
many-body systems. Covering topics such as Feynman diagrams and
path integrals, the author emphasizes the path integral approach,
the Wilsonian approach to renormalization, and the physics of
non-abelian gauge theory. Banks provides a thorough treatment of
groundbreaking topics such as quark confinement and chiral symmetry
breaking, topics not typically covered in other introductory texts.
The Standard Model of particle physics is also discussed in detail.
Connections with condensed matter physics are explored, and there
is a brief, but detailed, treatment of non-perturbative
semi-classical methods. Ideal for graduate students in high-energy
physics and condensed matter physics, the book contains many
problems, which help students practice the key techniques of
quantum field theory.
