内容简介 This book has its origin in a long series of lectures given at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, Warsaw University. It is addressed to graduate students and to young research workers in theoretical physics who have some knowledge of quantum field theory in its canonical formulation, for instance at the level of two volumes by Bjorken & Drell (1964, 1965). The book is intended to be a relatively concise reference to some of the field theoretical tools used in contemporary research in the theory of fundamental interactions. It is a technical book and not easy reading. Physical problems are discussed only as illustrations of certain theoretical ideas and of computational methods. No attempt has been made to review systematically the present status of the theory of fundamental interactions.
