"In the 1930s, physics was in a crisis. There appeared to be no way to reconcile the new theory of quantum mechanics with Einstein's theory of relativity. In the post-World War II period, four eminent physicists rose to the challenge and developed a calculable version of quantum…
Quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the theory explaining the strong nuclear force that binds together the components of the atomic nucleus, is one of the four fundamental forces of nature that control the universe in which we live. This absorbing book covers the ideas and stories beh…
Relativistic thermal field theory gives the theoretical framework for the description of the quark-gluon plasma, a new state of matter whose existence is predicted by lattice gauge theory and which might be produced in collisions of ultrarelativistic heavy ions. It is also relev…
Quantum field theory forms the present theoretical framework of physics of elementary particles and their interactions. This up-dated and expanded text examines gauge theories and their symmetries with an emphasis on their physical and technical aspects.--BOOK JACKET.
An expanded and up-dated text examining gauge theories and their symmetries with an emphasis on their physical and technical aspects. New chapters give a systematic introduction to classical field theories and the electroweak theory. Suitable for graduate courses in physics, the…
