Opis

Introduces quantum field theory together with its most important applications to cosmology and astroparticle physics in a coherent framework. Applications such as topological defects, phase transitions, dark matter, external gravitational fields, and black holes help students to bridge the gap between undergraduate courses and research literature.

Recenzje

As a classical textbook, it contains everything to facilitate the preparation of a lecture course or a self-study: many pictures and a lot of exercises This book is amazingly self-contained. All definitions and all numbers are here. Most of the computations are done from the beginning till the end in all details.
