A self-contained introduction to the path-integral method in field theory and its applications to quantum anomalies, this book assumes no previous knowledge beyond advanced undergraduate quantum mechanics. The subjects covered – from Schwinger’s action principle to recent developments in lattice gauge theory – are relevant to particle and high-energy nuclear theory, conformal field theory, applications to condensed matter theory and string theory.
