Quantum Field Theory by Lewis H. Ryder offers a comprehensive and modern introduction to the essential ideas and techniques in quantum field theory (QFT). Ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, the book presents quantum theory through a series of well-structured chapters. It begins with a brief overview of particle physics and explores relativistic wave equations, Lagrangian methods, and the quantum theory of scalar, spinor, and gauge fields.
The text emphasizes functional methods, which are crucial to contemporary field theory. The book is particularly notable for its inclusion of a new chapter on supersymmetry, a key development in theoretical physics. It concludes with a survey of topological objects in field theory, rounding out the modern approach to the subject. Whether you are a student of physics or a professional seeking to deepen your understanding, this work is an invaluable resource for navigating the complexities of quantum field theory.
