"This chapter is devoted to basic aspects of quantum field theory, ranging from the foundations to perturbation theory and renormalization, and is limited to the canonical formalism (functional methods are treated in Chapter 2) and to the traditional workflow (Lagrangian-Feynman…
Conversations on quantum gravity
"The holy grail of theoretical physics is to find the theory of everything that combines all the forces of nature, including gravity. This book addresses the question: How far are we from such discovery? Over the last few decades, multiple roads to finding a quantum theory of gr…

"Group theory, originating from algebraic structures in mathematics, has long been a powerful tool in many areas of physics, chemistry and other applied sciences, but it has seldom been covered in a manner accessible to undergraduates. This book from renowned educator Robert Kol…
