Based on lectures given at the Villa de Leyva Summer School, this book presents modern geometric methods in quantum field theory. Covering areas in geometry, topology, algebra, number-theory methods and their applications to quantum field theory, the book covers topics such as Dirac structures, holomorphic bundles and stability, Feynman integrals, geometric aspects of quantum field theory and the Standard Model, spectral and Riemannian geometry and index theory. It is a valuable guide for graduate students and researchers in physics and mathematics wanting to enter this interesting research field at the border between mathematics and physics.
