Conformal field theory with gauge symmetry
by Ueno, Kenji
fromFields Institute Monographs
"This book presents a systematic approach to conformal field theory with gauge symmetry from the point of view of complex algebraic geometry. After presenting the basic facts of the theory of compact Riemann surfaces and the representation theory of affine Lie algebras in Chapte…
This volume discusses fundamental aspects of quantum field theory and of gauge theories, with attention to mathematical consistency. Basic issues of the standard model of elementary particles (Higgs mechanism and chiral symmetry breaking in quantum chromodynamics) are treated wi…

Path integrals in field theory: an introduction
The book is an introduction to quantum field theory and renormalization group. It shows that these frameworks are essential for the understanding of phenomena belonging to many different areas of physics, which range from phase transitions in macroscopic systems to the theory of…
