Quantum Field Theory for Mathematicians

Ticciati''s approach to quantum field theory falls between building a mathematical model of the subject and presenting the mathematics that physicists actually use. It begins with the need to combine special relativity and quantum mechanics and culminates in a basic understanding of the standard model of electroweak and strong interactions. The book is divided into five parts: canonical quantization of scalar fields Weyl Dirac and vector fields functional integral quantization the standard model of the electroweak and strong interactions renormalization. This should be a useful reference for those interested in quantum theory and related areas of function theory functional analysis differential geometry or topological invariant theory.
