Statistical Approach to Quantum Field Theory An Introduction

Statistical Approach to Quantum Field Theory An Introduction / by Andreas Wipf.

Over the past few decades the powerful methods of statistical physics and Euclidean quantum field theory have moved closer together, with common tools based on the use of path integrals. The interpretation of Euclidean field theories as particular systems of statistical physics has opened up new ave...
