Perturbative Quantum Electrodynamics and Axiomatic Field Theory

Perturbative Quantum Electrodynamics and Axiomatic Field Theory by Othmar Steinmann.

This book demonstrates that fundamental concepts and methods from phenomenological particle physics can be derived rigorously from well-defined general assumptions in a mathematically clean way. Starting with the Wightman formulation of relativistic quantum field theory, the perturbative formulation...
