商品簡介
Aimed at graduate students and post-doctoral researchers, this text presents a detailed survey of the developments in two-dimensional quantum field theory since the pioneering work of Thirring. Introductory chapters discuss generalized free fields and their application to the solution of two exactly solvable models. Other topics include, for example, the Gross- Neveu model, non-linear sigma models, non-Abelian fermion-boson equivalences, and conformal field theory. The second edition also features a new chapter on the finite temperature Schwinger model. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
