Literature for introduction to O(N) vector model

[josephsanders]

TL;DR Summary: Looking for literature on O(N) vector model

Hello,

We have been going over the O(N) vector model in my QFT class but the notes are not very detailed and we are not using a textbook. Does anyone know of a good QFT book which goes over this material? I have a copy of Shrednicki but I couldn‘t find any mention of it.

Thanks in advance!

If you mean the linear $\sigma$ model, have a look at

S. Coleman, Aspects of Symmetry, Cambridge University
Press, Cambridge, New York, Melbourne (1985).

Which is a book all qft students should own and read nevertheless!

Have you asked the teacher of the class for reference litterature?

 

[josephsanders]

Yes but unfortunately they do not really care that much about the class and didn't have any :(

Is there any principal or educational supervisor you could ask?

That is a good idea, I can probably ask some other professors who work in the field. Thank you.

Also you could point out how you feel and think about the professor in that course of yours who was not willing to help you.
Never heard of a professor who does not want to provide reference and supplementary reading material
