About This Book

Volume I of the two-volume graduate textbook on quantum field theory, written by Dmitry V. Naumov, Breakthrough Prize laureate and Deputy Director of the Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems at JINR, Dubna.

This volume covers the foundational structure of QFT through its advanced formalism: canonical quantization, propagators, the S-matrix, Feynman diagram techniques, loop corrections, renormalization, and gauge field theory. Unlike many introductory treatments, this textbook is written for physicists who work with experiment; every formalism is grounded in physical reasoning, not axiomatic abstraction.

Book Description

What You Will Learn

  • Classical field theory: Lagrangians, Noether's theorem, symmetry currents
  • Canonical quantization of scalar, spinor, and vector fields
  • The S-matrix, LSZ reduction, and scattering amplitudes
  • Feynman rules: derivation, application, and physical interpretation
  • One-loop corrections, regularization, and renormalization theory
  • Abelian gauge theories and quantum electrodynamics (QED)
  • Ward identities, symmetry constraints, and radiative corrections

Format Note

Fixed-layout PDF preserving all mathematical typesetting, Feynman diagrams, and figures exactly as in the print edition. Best on tablet or laptop. Not optimized for e-ink readers.

About the Author

Dmitry V. Naumov
Dmitry V. Naumov
Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics (2016) · European Physical Society Prize (2023)

Dmitry V. Naumov is a physicist who works both as a theorist and experimentalist, a rare combination in modern physics. He is a leading expert in neutrino physics, elementary particle physics, and astrophysics, and heads the Neutrino Programme at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna, Russia. He holds a Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences degree and is the author of more than 200 scientific papers.

Naumov is a laureate of the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics (2016) and the European Physical Society Prize (2023), both awarded as part of the Daya Bay collaboration for the precise measurement of the neutrino mixing angle θ₁₃. The Breakthrough Prize is one of the most prestigious awards in science.

He has lectured on quantum field theory at Moscow State University and JINR for over 20 years. This textbook is the result of those lectures: a course designed to make QFT genuinely understandable and practically usable for experimentalists and theorists alike.
