Quantum Field Theory

by Claude Itzykson

This text offers a balanced treatment of quantum field theory, providing both formal presentation and numerous examples. It begins with the standard quantization of electrodynamics, culminating in the perturbative renormalization, and proceeds to functional methods, relativistic bound states, broken symmetries, nonabelian gauge fields, and asymptotic behavior. 157 figures. 1980 edition.

A mediocre QFT text ruined by not bothering to fix the errata in a new edition.

Skip it.
