This note covers the following topics: Non-abelian gauge theories,
Field and Mass renormalizations, removing ultraviolet divergences , unstable
particles and resonances , S-matrix elements and LSZ reduction, Renormalized
Lagrangian, Vertex function , anomalous magnetic moment , vacuum polarization,
general renormalization theory, renormalization group.
This note describes the following topics: Classical particles and waves, Physical background and wave-particle duality,
Wave mechanics, The Born interpretation, The harmonic oscillator, The
mathematical structure of quantum theory, Statistical aspects of quantum theory,
Angular momentum, The hydrogen atom.
This book is divided into two parts. The first part is the old-school
way of learning quantum field theory. The second part is dedicated to
Topological Field Theories. Topics covered includes: Spin Zero, Fields with
Spin, Non-Abelian Field Theories, Quantum Electrodynamics, Electroweak Theory,
Quantum Chromodynamics, Renormalization, Sigma Model, Topological Field
Theories.
