SUMMARY

The discussion centers on resources for studying the φ^3 interactive field theory, specifically in the context of Quantum Field Theory (QFT). The main references mentioned include Ryder's QFT, which focuses on φ^4 interaction, and alternative texts such as Sterman's QFT and Muta's QCD book, which address φ^3 theory. The user is seeking to compare their derived point functions and renormalization results with established literature. Additionally, a draft QFT book by Srednicki is suggested as a potential resource.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Quantum Field Theory (QFT)
  • Familiarity with renormalization techniques
  • Knowledge of point functions in field theory
  • Access to relevant QFT textbooks and papers
NEXT STEPS
  • Review Sterman's QFT book for insights on φ^3 theory
  • Examine Muta's QCD book for additional context on φ^3 interactions
  • Study the draft QFT book by Srednicki for comprehensive coverage of interactive fields
  • Research advanced renormalization techniques specific to φ^3 theory
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, graduate students, and physicists specializing in Quantum Field Theory, particularly those focusing on interactive fields and renormalization processes.

Does anybody knows a textbook, a paper or any lecture notes that discusses the [tex]\phi^3[/tex] interactive field? I use as main reference Ryder's QFT, which discusses only the [tex]\phi^4[/tex] interaction. And most similar textbooks (like Peskin's, Brown's etc.) do so.

I have derived the point functions and currently trying to renormalize the [tex]\phi^3[/tex] theory, so I'd like to compare my results with the right ones. Thanx!

It's discussed in many books. Take a look at this draft of a QFT book by Srednicki:

Sterman's QFT book also discusses phi-3 theory, so does Muta's QCD book.
 
Thanx a lot!
