Geometry and Quantum Field Theory

Mathematical Ideas and Notions of Quantum Field Theory

Description:

This textbook presents QFT’s core structures in a rigorous, math-first style, connecting physics with analysis, probability, and geometry. It develops perturbative tools, free theories, and both operator and Lagrangian viewpoints, with links to combinatorics and topology.

 

Key Topics

  • Path integrals
  • Feynman diagrams
  • Matrix integrals
  • Wightman axioms
  • Renormalization basics
