Where Can I Find a Topological QFT Textbook?

AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for topological quantum field theory (QFT) texts include a book found on Amazon, though its quality is uncertain. A notable paper by Ed Witten is also mentioned as a valuable resource. The book by Altland and Simon, while focused on QFT in condensed matter physics, contains relevant content on topology. Additional resources are suggested, including links to a collection of materials by John Baez, which may provide further insights into the topic. Another recommended text is by Labastida and Marino, also available on Amazon.

Can someone please recommend any topological QFT text .I searched amazon and found nothing
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Thanks alot
 
The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
