Which QFT Books Offer a Math-Centric Perspective?

AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for quantum field theory (QFT) books with a mathematical focus emphasize geometry and conceptual understanding rather than detailed calculations. Naber's volume 1 is noted as an excellent choice. Ticciati is also highlighted for its mathematical perspective akin to Peskin's work. Other potential books include titles from Amazon that cater to a rigorous mathematical approach to QFT. A linked thread on Physics Stack Exchange offers a broader list of recommended texts, providing additional resources for those seeking a deeper mathematical insight into the standard model and introductory QFT topics.

I'm looking for recommendations for QFT books written from a more math perspective. I'm looking for the usual intro topics, including the standard model, etc. Ideally, emphasis on geometry and understanding. Calculating scattering in gory detail isn't my goal.

I've already picked up Naber vol 1, which is excellent so far. I'm also leaning towards getting Ticciati, since it sounds like Peskin from a math viewpoint, which sounds very promising.

Any other recommendations?

Here are a few other contenders I've seen:

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!
