SynopsisQuantum Field Theory: A Modern Introduction is undoubtedly the standard setting textbook in this field; as it is the only up-to-date introductory textbook to cover the 'modern' approach to quantum field theory (QFT).In this textbook, Michio Kaku, goes far beyond existing texts, and presents material vital to the modern approach to QFT. Topics such as critical phenomena, lattice gauge theory, supersymmetry, quantum gravity, supergravity, and superstrings are all included in this textbook and are not included in other textbooks on QFT.There are also over 260 exercises included within the text., This is the only up-to-date introductory textbook on the modern approach to quantum field theory, intended for the graduate course on the subject taught in all graduate physics programmes with interests in high-energy physics. It is also the first textbook to include discussions of topics that have become so vital to a modern treatment of GFT, such as critical phenomena, lattice gauge theory, supersymmetry, quantum gravity, supergravity, and superstrings. Over 260 exercises are included., This introductory textbook with over 260 exercises, on the modern approach to quantum field theory, is intended for a graduate course on the subject. It includes discussions of topics that have become vital to a modern treatment of GFT, such as critical phenomena, lattice gauge theory, supersymmetry, quantum gravity, supergravity, and superstrings.
