Path Integral Quantization 1st Edition – PDF/EPUB Version Downloadable

This book is a
self-contained and concise introduction to the techniques and applications
of path integral quantization and functional techniques, aimed at students and
practitioners. The first half of the text focuses on quantum mechanics,
including a review of the action formulation of classical mechanics and quantum
mechanics in the Dirac operator and state formalism, and further examination of
the path integral. The second part examines relativistic field theories,
reviewing special relativity, as well as derivation of the path integral
representation of the vacuum transition element for quantized scalar, spinor,
and vector fields from the coherent state representation of the respective
field theories.
