Hardcover. Condition: Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. Contents: 1) phases of gauge theories 2) kinks and domain walls 3) vortices and flux tubes (strings) 4) monopoles and skyrmions 5) Instantons 6) Isotropic (anti)ferromagnet 7) False-vacuum decay and related topics 8) Chiral anomaly 9) Confinement in 4D gauge theories and models in lower dimensions 10) Basics of supersymmetry with emphasis on gauge theories 11) Supersymmetric solitons Synopsis: "Since the advent of Yang-Mills theories and supersymmetry in the 1970s, quantum field theory - the basis of the modern description of physical phenomena at the fundamental level - has undergone revolutionary developments. This is the first systematic and comprehensive text devoted specifically to modern field theory, bringing readers to the cutting edge of current research. The book emphasizes nonperturbative phenomena and supersymmetry. It includes a thorough discussion of various phases of gauge theories, extended objects and their quantization, and global supersymmetry from a modern perspective. Featuring extensive cross-referencing from traditional topics to recent breakthroughs in the field, it prepares students for independent research. The side boxes summarizing the main results and over 70 exercises make this an indispensable book for graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics." Light scratches on the rear cover. Spots of dirt on page sides (see images). Text pages unmarked. Seller Inventory # 423042
