Product Description: Thoroughly revised and updated, this new edition develops the basic formalism and theoretical techniques for studying relativistic field theory at finite temperature and density. It starts with the path-integral representation of the partition function and then proceeds to develop diagrammatic perturbation techniques...read more

Product Description: Professor Kapusta develops the basic formalism and theoretical techniques for studying relativistic quantum field theory at high temperature and density. Topics covered include functional integral representation of the partition function, diagrammatic expansions, linear response theory, screening and collective oscillations, equations of state, phase transitions, restoration of spontaneously broken symmetries, the Goldstone theorem, and infrared problems...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)
