Résumé

This book considers the theory of fundamental interactions and the elementary particles subject to them: leptons and hadrons. The general methods of quantization of physical fields including Bose, Fermi and gauge fields are presented and the methods for eliminating divergences arising in the modern theory of interacting fields are discussed in detail.

The concept of quarks and gluons is used as a basis for formulating quantum chromodynamics, which represents a theory of the strong interactions of hadrons. The theory of electroweak interactions, and both Einstein's theory of gravitation and the theory of superfluids are developed in terms of non-Abelian gauge fields. This comprehensive and detailed book will be a useful source of reference for graduates and researchers in the fields of quantum theory, quantum electrodynamics and elementary particle physics.
