Quantum Field Theory: Perspective and Prospective

Quantum Field Theory: Perspective and Prospective by Cécile Dewitt-Morette, published by Kluwer Academic Publishers on March 31, 1999, is a softcover reprint of the original first edition. This 403-page book addresses the complexities of modern quantum field theory, particularly for researchers navigating its challenges. It features insights from key figures who participated in the Les Houches sessions of 1970 and 1975, offering a comprehensive overview of developments in the field.
Readers will find a detailed examination of current problems rooted in quantum field theory, along with guidance tailored for young researchers. This book serves as a complement to existing literature on string theory, focusing on the intricate relationship between quantum field theory and various scientific disciplines, including mathematics and physics. The content is designed to assist those who may feel overwhelmed by the complexities of the subject, making it a valuable resource for anyone engaged in the study of quantum theory and its applications.
Official synopsis Publisher
It has been said that `String theorists talk to string theorists and everyone else wonders what they are saying’. This book will be a great help to those researchers who are challenged by modern quantum field theory.
Quantum field theory experienced a renaissance in the late 1960s. Here, participants in the Les Houches sessions of 1970/75, now key players in quantum field theory and its many impacts, assess developments in their field of interest and provide guidance to young researchers challenged by these developments, but overwhelmed by their complexities.
The book is not a textbook on string theory, rather it is a complement to Polchinski’s book on string theory. It is a survey of current problems which have their origin in quantum field theory.
