Quantum Field Theory Of Point Particles And Strings (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

First Published in 2018. The emphasis of the book is calculational, and most computations are presented in step-by-step detail. The book is unique in that it develops all three representations of quantum field theory (operator, functional Schr dinger, and path integral) for point particles and strings. In many cases, identical results are worked out in each representation to emphasize the representation-independent structures of quantum field theory
