About The Book
This collection of problems in Quantum Field Theory (QFT), along with their complete solutions, provides an excellent resource for students looking to deepen their understanding of QFT by applying its foundational principles. The book covers a broad range of topics, from the fundamentals of QFT to more advanced concepts, including methods in perturbation theory, LSZ reduction formulas, Feynman diagrams, and renormalization.

Each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of QFT, such as:

• Functional methods: Bosonic and fermionic path integrals, worldline formalism.

• Non-Abelian gauge theories: Yang-Mills theory, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD).

• Novel techniques for calculating scattering amplitudes.

• QFT at finite temperature, including lattice formulation and extensions to systems out of equilibrium.

The problems vary in difficulty, making this book suitable for graduate students taking their first or second course in QFT. It offers both theoretical problems related to QFT formalism and practical problems addressing phenomenological relevance.

Features:

• Wide-ranging coverage from foundational principles to advanced QFT topics.

• Complete solutions provided for each problem, making it a useful study guide.

• Includes problems in traditional perturbation theory, functional methods, gauge theories, and more.

• Suitable for graduate students looking to deepen their understanding of QFT through problem-solving.

This book serves as both a comprehensive learning tool and a bridge to more advanced studies in Quantum Field Theory.
