Group Field Theories
by Thomas Krajewski
Publisher: arXiv 2012
Number of pages: 58
Description:
Group field theories are particular quantum field theories defined on D copies of a group which reproduce spin foam amplitudes on a space-time of dimension D. In these lecture notes, we present the general construction of group field theories, merging ideas from tensor models and loop quantum gravity.

A Guide to Quantum Field Theory
by Kasper Peeters - Durham University
The course will introduce Quantum Field Theory (QFT) by bringing together concepts from classical Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, quantum mechanics and special relativity. We will also introduce string theory as a simple two-dimensional QFT.

Introduction to Quantum Field Theory
by Matthew Schwartz - Harvard University
The approach is to emphasize that Quantum Field Theory is first and foremost a tool for performing practical calculations. I will emphasize the physical problems which have driven the development of the field, and to show how they can be solved.

Introductory Lectures on Topological Quantum Field Theory
by Nils Carqueville, Ingo Runkel - arXiv.org
These notes offer a lightening introduction to topological quantum field theory in its functorial axiomatisation assuming no or little prior exposure. We highlight the algebraic formulation emerging from a formal generators-and-relations description.
