Introduction to Algebraic and Constructive Quantum Field Theory
by John C. Baez, Irving E. Segal, Zhengfang Zhou

ISBN/ASIN: 0691085463
ISBN-13: 9780691085463
Number of pages: 316
Description:
The authors present a rigorous treatment of the first principles of the algebraic and analytic core of quantum field theory. Their aim is to correlate modern mathematical theory with the explanation of the observed process of particle production and of particle-wave duality that heuristic quantum field theory provides. The authors address readers interested in fundamental mathematical physics and who have at least the training of an entering graduate student.

Introductory Lectures on Topological Quantum Field Theoryby 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.
