About the Book

In this insightful work, L. D. Faddeev delves deep into the field theory of relativistic strings, offering a unique perspective on this complex subject. As a direct generalization of the methods of gauge field theory, this book serves as an essential resource for those looking to understand the geometrical aspects of gauge field theory and its extension into the quantum realm.

The book's second edition emphasizes the quantum theory of Yang-Mills fields, one of the cornerstones of modern theoretical physics. The author’s expertise shines through as he carefully explains intricate concepts related to gauge fields and their quantum interpretation. With an emphasis on clear mathematical formulations, Faddeev provides readers with an accessible yet detailed approach to this advanced topic.

Illustrated with black and white diagrams, the book makes the abstract world of relativistic strings and quantum field theory more approachable for readers, from advanced students to researchers in high-energy physics. This text stands as a comprehensive guide for anyone interested in the foundations of modern physics and the theoretical underpinnings of string theory and gauge field theories.
