The book attempts to provide an introduction to quantum field theory emphasizing
conceptual issues frequently neglected in more utilitarian treatments of the sublet.
The book is divided into four
parís,
entitled respectively Origins , Dynamics ,
Symmetries , and Scales The emphasis is conceptual— the aim is to build the
theory up systematically from some clearly stated foundational concepts —and
therefore to a large extent anti-historical, but two historical chapters ( Origins ) are
included to situate quanfum field theory in the larger conies of modern physical
theories. The three remaining sections of the book
foliový o
step-by-step reconstruc¬
tion of this framework beginning with just a few basic assumptions:
relativista
invariance,
the basic principles of quantum mechanics, and the prohibition of
physical action at a distance embodied in the clustering principle. The Dynamics
section of the book lays out the basic structure of quantum field theory arising from
the sequential insertion of quantum-mechanical, relativistic, and locality constraints.
The central rofe of symmetries in relativistic quantum field theories is explored in the
third section of the book, while in the final section, entitled Scales , we explore in
derail the feature of quantum field theories most critical for their enormous phenom-
enological success —the scale separation property embodied by the renormalization
group properties of a theory defined by an effective local Lagrangian.
