Lectures On Elementary Particles and Quantum Field Theory Volume 1

<p><b>The first volume of the Brandeis University Summer Institute lecture series of 1970 on theories of interacting elementary particles consisting of four sets of lectures.</b></p><p>Every summer since 1959 Brandeis University has conducted a lecture series centered on various areas of theoretical physics. The areas are sufficiently broad to interest a large number of physicists and the lecturers are among the original explorers of these areas.</p><p>The 1970 lectures presented in two volumes are on theories of interacting elementary particles. The four lecturers of Volume 1 and the range of the topics they cover are as follows: </p><p>Stephen L. Adler (Institute for Advanced Study) on Perturbation Theory Anomalies: introduction and review of perturbation theory; the VVA triangle anomaly; absence of radiative corrections; generalizations of our results; connection between Ward identity anomalies and commutator (Bjorken-limit) anomalies; applications of the Bjorken limit; and breakdown of the Bjorken limit in perturbation theory.</p><p>Stanley Mandelstam (University of California at Berkeley) on Dynamical Applications of the Veneziano formula for the four-point scalar amplitude; factorization; the operator formalism; Veneziano-type quark models; and higher-order Feynman-like diagrams. </p><p>Steven Weinberg (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) on Dynamic and Algebraic Symmetries: Introduction; hadron electrodynamics; local symmetries; and chirality. </p><p>Wolfhart Zimmermann (New York University) on Local Operator Products and Renormalization in Quantum Field Theory: introduction; renormalization; operator product expansions; and local field equations. </p><p>The second volume contains lectures by Rudolf Haag on observables and fields by Maurice Jacob on duality by Michael Reed on non-Fock representations and by Bruno Zumino on effective Lagrangians and broken symmetries.</p>
