No, but it's easy to mistakenly believe this if you take the diagrams too seriously. There are essentially two alternative approaches for formalizing quantum field theory and making it accessible to mathematical treatment: Gerald B. Folland, Quantum field theory: A tourist guide for mathematicians, Math. From the reviews: "Quantum field theory combines relativity, quantum mechanics, and many-particle physics to provide a theoretical basis for the most fundamental. Language: English Publisher: American Mathematical Society ISBN: 0821847058, 9780821847053. Doc C: This point of view is just another arbitrary story of the truth that guides us. In fact, most books purportedly treating . You could travel light: Whittaker, Watson, tooth brush, etc. The path that particles take through actual Among other more technical reasons, this viewpoint is rather counterproductive because the mathematical framework of quantum field theory is built upon the idea of causality. So are you telling me that the particles travel in straight lines? I've been reading through the book "Quantum Field Theory: A Tourist Guide for Mathematicians" by George B. Part I: Guide for students pinning down foundational dead ends, so that they may not waste time on rediscovery of dead ends. Part II is mostly redundant with Part I; for some field theory skirmishes. The answers to these questions are not easily found in popular QFT texts, nor in books on the mathematics of differential geometry, group theory, or algebraic topology. Quantum field theory: a tourist guide for mathematicians Gerald B. Quantum field theory: a tourist guide for mathematicians. What does it mean that a set of incoming particles and outgoing particles can have multiple diagrams? His book The Infinity Puzzle is an extremely careful and comprehensive overview of modern quantum field theory, with a special eye on the history of the subject, carefully elucidating which physicists were responsible for which insights along He is probably best known within physics for the “Ward identities” in quantum field theory, mathematical relations that enforce local symmetries. Quantum.field.theory.a.tourist.guide.for.mathematicians.pdf. Interested in texts providing some unifying insight about renormalization in QFT, statistical physics or pure mathematics. The best available theory is based on a marriage between quantum mechanics and special relativity — quantum field theories (QFT).
