Introductory Lectures on Quantum Field Theory
by Luis Alvarez-Gaume, Miguel A. Vazquez-Mozo
Publisher: arXiv 2013
Number of pages: 112
Description:
In these lectures we present a few topics in Quantum Field Theory in detail. Some of them are conceptual and some more practical. They have been selected because they appear frequently in current applications to Particle Physics and String Theory.
