Concepts in Quantum Field Theory

Victor Ilisie graduated in Physics in 2010 from the University of Valencia and in the following year obtained his Master’s Degree in Advanced Physics (branch: Theoretical Physics). He subsequently worked as a researcher at the University of Valencia and in 2014 and 2015 has been teaching courses on Classical Mechanics at the university, where he is completing a PhD within the framework of a project on “Particle Physics Phenomenology at the LHC and Flavour Factories”. He has also worked temporarily at Université Paris-Sud, Orsay, France and has a number of published papers to his name.

"The book basically intends to clarify and structure in a very logical manner concepts that can be confusing in Quantum Field Theory by without strict formalities. The material in the book is collected to be helpful as a complementary tool for beginners and not-so-beginners. ... the book is written for advanced undergraduate-graduate students. ... The book is nicely written and will be helpful for interested students." (Farruh Mukhamedov, zbMATH 1339.81002, 2016)
