Quantum Resources for studying classical and quantum Yang-Mills(non-abelian QFT)

AI Thread Summary
Key resources for studying classical and quantum Yang-Mills theories, particularly non-abelian quantum field theory (QFT), include several notable textbooks. Recommended texts are J. C. Taylor's "Gauge Theories of Weak Interactions" published by Cambridge University Press in 1976, D. Bailin and A. Love's "Introduction to Gauge Field Theory" from Adam Hilger in 1986, and M. D. Schwartz's "Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model," released by Cambridge University Press in 2014. These works provide foundational knowledge and insights into gauge theories and their applications in particle physics.

Hello!
I would like to know what are some good resources for studying classical and quantum Yang-Mills(non-abelian QFT) such as textbooks, lecture notes etc.
Thanks in advance!

For the following four books, has anyone used them in a course or for self study? Compiler Construction Principles and Practice 1st Edition by Kenneth C Louden Programming Languages Principles and Practices 3rd Edition by Kenneth C Louden, and Kenneth A Lambert Programming Languages 2nd Edition by Allen B Tucker, Robert E Noonan Concepts of Programming Languages 9th Edition by Robert W Sebesta If yes to either, can you share your opinions about your personal experience using them. I...
Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
