A Modern Introduction to Quantum Field Theory

This book grew out of the notes of the course on quantum field theory that I give at the University of Geneva, for students in the fourth year. Most courses on quantum field theory focus on teaching the student
how to compute cross-sections and decay rates in particle physics. This is, and will remain, an important part of the preparation of a highenergy physicist. However, the importance and the beauty of modern quantum field theory resides also in the great power and variety of its methods and ideas. These methods are of great generality and provide a unifying language that one can apply to domains as different as particle physics, cosmology, condensed matter, statistical mechanics and critical phenomena. It is this power and generality that makes quantum field theory a fundamental tool for any theoretical physicist, independently of his/her domain of specialization, as well as, of course, for particle physics experimentalists.

In spite of the existence of many textbooks on quantum field theory, I decided to write these notes because I think that it is difficult to find a book that has a modern approach to quantum field theory, in the sense outlined above, and at the same time is written having in mind the level of fourth year students, which are being exposed for the first time to the subject.

The book is self-contained and can be covered in a two semester course, possibly skipping some of the more advanced topics. Indeed, my aim is to propose a selection of topics that can really be covered in a course,
but in which the students are introduced to many modern developments of quantum field theory.
