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 Perhaps this is a review article or unpublished notes?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 Maybe you are right,it's an unpublished notes,just like some of Georch's lectures.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. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
