Klappentext zu „Finite-Temperature Field Theory “
Thoroughly revised, updated, and extended, this new edition develops the basic formalism and theoretical techniques for studying relativistic field theory at finite temperature and density. It starts with the path-integral representation of the partition function and then proceeds to develop diagrammatic perturbation techniques. Among topics covered are renormalization, linear response theory, spontaneous symmetry breaking, lattice gauge theory, and nucleation theory. Applications to astrophysics, cosmology, and relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions are also included. The book includes end-of-chapter problems and is written for theorists in elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, and cosmology.

Rezension zu „Finite-Temperature Field Theory “
Review of the hardback: Praise for the first edition: '... an excellent introduction to the subject ... Overall, this is still the only modern work in this area and it is the best place to start from.' T. S. Evans, Contemporary Physics Review of the hardback: 'The material in this book is a well balanced introduction to the current literature on this subject. ... This book ... has already been a valuable resource to many workers in the field. With the advent of relativistic heavy-ion colliders this publication could not have come at a better time. Both graduate students and more experienced workers in this field should have a copy of this book on their shelves!' Journal of Physics Review of the hardback: '... a wonderfully compact book, filled with useful information and important references.' R. Delbourgo, Mathematical Reviews Review of the hardback: '... an excellent instrument for researchers; also, it could be used as a course in a PhD program.' Zentralblatt MATH
