The Monte Carlo Method in Quantum Field Theory
by Colin Morningstar
Publisher: arXiv 2007
Number of pages: 77
Description:
This series of six lectures is an introduction to using the Monte Carlo method to carry out nonperturbative studies in quantum field theories. Path integrals in quantum field theory are reviewed, and their evaluation by the Monte Carlo method with Markov-chain based importance sampling is presented.

Algebraic Quantum Field Theory
by Hans Halvorson, Michael Mueger - arXiv
This paper is a survey of AQFT, with an orientation towards foundational topics. In addition to covering the basics of the theory, we discuss issues related to nonlocality, the particle concept, the field concept, and inequivalent representations.

Quantum Field Theory, Black Holes and Holography
by Chethan Krishnan - arXiv
These notes are an expanded version of lectures given in 2010. The aim is to provide a practical introduction to quantum field theory in curved spacetime and related black hole physics, with AdS / CFT as the loose motivation.
