I got a e-book on QFT few months ago.but this one hasn't chapter 1 and title and index etc.i.e all the informations about author.but this book is really good,I want to see the full version,it's recommed to anyone who interests in QFT.It's style is a little mathematical but keep good physical insights also.And contains many interesting materials.What is most important ,this book develops qft step by step,not 'a pathintegral and some feynman rules directly',and keep a balance to not to be too 'general' and 'axiomic',mainly treats easy and meaningful materials.It's suitable for a beginner.

the content of this book is below

chapters
1?missed
2 Classical field theory
3 Symmetries
4 Quantum fields
5 Free field theory
6 Gauge field theories
7 Supersymmetry
8 Path integral quantization
9 Pertubation theory
10 Quantum fields in external sources
11 Properties of the scattering matirx
12 The structure of feynman diagrams
13 Quantum electrodynamics
14 Ultrviolet divergences and renormalization
15 Renormalization to all orders
16 The renormalization group
17 The effective action
18 Symmetry breaking
19 Dynamical symmetry breaking
?

I'm not sure whether there are chapter 20 or 21...
Does anynoe know this book?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Yes, it's by David Gross, and it's very good. Maybe you should buy it :wink:

wow, I don't know David Gross also published some book about QFT,
could you give me the title?
I googled but I can't find it.
 
There's a David J. Gross, a Nobel prize winning physicist.

I'm coming up empty on a google search as well. Perhaps this is a review article or unpublished notes?

...OK, I found "Lectures on Quantum Field Theory" by D. Gross on a dodgy looking Russian language site:

http://megalib.org/rd/en/D37894675650F29831050985EDC1FA767B64AE85/index.htm

Here it is again:

But I can't find any other record of such a book.

yes,when I downalded this one,its title said that it's written by Gross.I had google it,but found only F.Gross's book.I'm not sure whether it's written by D.Gross.Do you know any more details about this?
Thank you for your help

my ebook is as the same as these two,no toc no chapter 1. Maybe you are right,it's an unpublished notes,just like some of Georch's lectures.

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In her YouTube video Bell’s Theorem Experiments on Entangled Photons, Dr. Fugate shows how polarization-entangled photons violate Bell’s inequality. In this Insight, I will use quantum information theory to explain why such entangled photon-polarization qubits violate the version of Bell’s inequality due to John Clauser, Michael Horne, Abner Shimony, and Richard Holt known as the...
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...
I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
