About this title

Synopsis

In this well-known textbook, advanced quantum theory is formulated in group-theoretical language. Scattering is dealt with in nuclear, atomic, and solid-state physics. Of central importance is the treatment of Feynman graphs. In the second edition the author has added new sections on the quark model.

Synopsis

The goal of this textbook is to provide an understanding of the forces of nature in their simplest and most general terms. It begins with a discussion of transformation theory, which is used by the author to formulate advanced quantum theory in group-theoretical language. The second section deals with scattering theory and includes many applications in nuclear, atomic and solid-state physics. Emphasis is placed on relativistic Feynman diagrams. The book concludes with a description of the finite parts of higher-order graphs in field theory and dispersion theory.
