Institute of Physics Publishing A Modern Course in Quantum Field Theory, Volume 1: Fundamentals (IOP Expanding Physics)

A Modern Course in Quantum Field Theory provides a self-contained pedagogical and constructive presentation of quantum field theory. Written for advanced students, the work provides complete material for a two or three semester course and includes numerous problem exercises, some with detailed solutions. About the Author Badis Ydri―currently a professor of theoretical particle physics, teaching at the Institute of Physics, Badji Mokhtar Annaba University, Algeria―received his PhD from Syracuse University, New York, USA and in 2011 his Habilitation from Annaba University, Annaba, Algeria. Professor Ydri is also a research associate at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, Dublin, Ireland, and a regular ICTP associate at the Abdus Salam Center for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy. His post-doctoral experience comprises a Marie Curie fellowship at Humboldt University Berlin, Germany, and a Hamilton fellowship at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, Ireland. His current research directions include: the gauge/gravity duality; the renormalization group method in matrix and noncommutative field theories; non-commutative and matrix field theory; quantum gravity as emergent geometry, emergent gravity and emergent cosmology from matrix models.
