Introduction to Algebraic and Constructive Quantum Field Theory

by John C. Baez, Irving E. Segal, Zhengfang Zhou

Book Overview

The authors present a rigorous treatment of the first principles of the algebraic and analytic core of quantum field theory. Their aim is to correlate modern mathematical theory with the explanation of the observed process of particle production and of particle-wave duality that heuristic quantum field theory provides. Many topics are treated here in book form for the first time, from the origins of complex structures to the quantization of tachyons...
