Problems in Quantum Field Theory: With Fully-Worked Solutions

This book provides a collection of problems in Quantum Field Theory, accompanied by complete solutions, to bridge the gap between learning the foundational principles and applying them practically. It covers a wide range of topics, including functional methods, non-Abelian gauge theories, and quantum field theory at finite temperature, and spans a broad range in difficulty for graduate students taking their first or second course in QFT.

This comprehensive collection of problems in Quantum Field Theory, accompanied by their detailed solutions, seeks to bridge the gap between acquiring foundational principles and applying them in practical scenarios. The carefully selected problems encompass a diverse range of topics, beginning with the foundations of Quantum Field Theory and traditional perturbation theory methods, including LSZ reduction formulas, Feynman diagrams, and renormalization. Dedicated chapters are devoted to functional methods, such as bosonic and fermionic path integrals, worldline formalism, non-Abelian gauge theories, such as Yang-Mills theory and Quantum Chromodynamics, as well as novel techniques for calculating scattering amplitudes. Additionally, the book explores quantum field theory at finite temperature, including its formulation on the lattice and extensions to systems out of equilibrium. The problems in this collection span a broad spectrum of difficulty, catering to graduate students embarking on their first or second course in QFT. By presenting these challenges alongside their solutions, the book aims to empower students with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in this complex field.
