Collected Papers Vol.1: Quantum Field Theory and Statistical Mechanics

More about the book

This volume features a collection of expository articles on quantum field theory and statistical mechanics by James Glimm and Arthur Jaffe. It discusses the original interacting quantum field equations and their physical implications, highlighting critical points, coupling constants, and particle structures. The authors delve into advanced topics such as critical exponents, confinement, and instantons, providing insights into the foundational aspects of quantum fields, which have been integral to the field since their inception in the late 1920s.
