Unifying a range of topics that are currently scattered throughout the literature, this book offers a unique and definitive review of mathematical aspects of quantization and quantum field theory. The authors present both basic and more advanced topics of quantum field theory in a mathematically consistent way, focusing on canonical commutation and anti-commutation relations. They begin with a discussion of the mathematical structures underlying free bosonic or fermionic fields, like tensors, algebras, Fock spaces, and CCR and CAR representations (including their symplectic and orthogonal invariance). Applications of these topics to physical problems are discussed in later chapters. Although most of the book is devoted to free quantum fields, it also contains an exposition of two important aspects of interacting fields: diagrammatics and the Euclidean approach to constructive quantum field theory. With its in-depth coverage, this text is essential reading for graduate students and researchers in departments of mathematics and physics.
Jan Dereziński is a Professor in the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw. His research interests cover various aspects of quantum physics and quantum field theory, especially from the rigorous point of view. Christian Gérard is a Professor in the Département de Mathématiques at the Université Paris-Sud. He was previously Directeur de Recherche at the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique). His research interests are the spectral and scattering theory in non-relativistic quantum mechanics and in quantum field theory.
