Problem Book in Quantum Field Theory [Paperback]

The Problem Book in Quantum Field Theory contains about 200 problems with solutions or hints that help students to improve their understanding and develop skills necessary for pursuing the subject. It deals with the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations, classical field theory, canonical quantization of scalar, Dirac and electromagnetic fields, the processes in the lowest order of perturbation theory, renormalization and regularization. The solutions are presented in a systematic and complete manner. The material covered and the level of exposition make the book appropriate for graduate and undergraduate students in physics, as well as for teachers and researchers.

This Problem Book is based on the exercises and lectures which I have given to undergraduate and graduate students of the Faculty of Physics, University of Belgrade over many years. Nowadays, there are a lot of excellent Quantum Field Theory textbooks. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of Problem Books inthis?eld,oneoftheexceptionsbeingtheProblemBookofChengandLi[7]. The overlap between this Problem Book and [7] is very small, since the latter mostly deals with gauge ?eld theory and particle physics. Textbooks usually contain problems without solutions. As in other areas of physics doing more problems in full details improves both understanding and e?ciency. So, I feel that the absence of such a book in Quantum Field Theory is a gap in the literature. This was my main motivation for writing this Problem Book. To students: You cannot start to do problems without previous stu- ing your lecture notes and textbooks. Try to solve problems without using solutions; they should help you to check your results.
