| Title | Finite Quantum Electrodynamics : The Causal Approach |
| Author(s) | Scharf, G |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1995. |
| Description | X, 410 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In this textbook for graduate students in physics the author carefully analyses the role of causality in Quantum Electrodynamics. This new approach makes it possible to give full proofs and carry out the detailed calculations of scattering processes in a mathematically rigorous manner. The book begins with Dirac's theory, followed by the quantum theory of free fields, including a new approach to the external field problem. Chapter 3 is devoted to causal perturbation theory, a powerful method that avoids ultraviolet divergences and solves the infrared problem by means of the adiabatic limit. Chapter 4 is concerned with general properties of the S matrix, such as renormalizability, gauge invariance, and unitarity. The renormalization group and interacting fields are also discussed. In Chapter 5 other electrodynamic couplings are considered. The extension of the methods to non-abelian gauge theories is briefly described. This new edition is partially rewritten and contains two new chapters |

| Title | Finite Quantum Electrodynamics |
| Author(s) | Scharf, G |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1989. |
| Description | X, 224 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In this book the author carefully analyses the role of the concept of causality in Quantum Electrodynamics. This approach makes it possible for the first time to publish a textbook on QED which not only includes full proofs and detailed calculations but is also mathematically rigorous. The book begins with Dirac's theory in part one, followed in part two by the quantum theory of free fields including a new approach to the concept of exterior fields. The third part is devoted to the study of the S-matrix of QED avoiding ultraviolet divergence. The most important physical results of QED are derived, and significant themes such as unitarity and renormalizability of the theory are discussed. This slim book addresses graduate students in physics. From the reviews: "In the summary on the back cover the unheard-of statement appears that now the first (mathematically) rigorous textbook on Quantum Electrodynamics was on hand. ... In fact, "Finite Quantum Electrodynamics" does justice to this claim. And, in addition, in a pregnant, lifely form. On 220 pages G. Scharf (Zurich) succeeds in presenting a concise description of QED ... As promised, only finite quantities appear ... In Russia I often feel frustrated that I studied Latin in school and Russian was not offered. Now I have the same feeling after reading Scharf's book. I studied the wrong grammar up to now." #Translated from a review by Thomas Sch??cker in Physik in unserer Zeit#1 |
