Quantum Field Theory and Functional Integrals
An Introduction to Feynman Path Integrals and the Foundations of Axiomatic Field Theory
Nima Moshayedi
Science / Physics / Quantum Theory
Described here is Feynman's path integral approach to quantum mechanics and quantum field theory from a functional integral point of view. Therein lies the main focus of Euclidean field theory. The notion of Gaussian measure and the construction of the Wiener measure are covered. As well, the notion of classical mechanics and the Schrödinger picture of quantum mechanics are recalled. There, the equivalence to the path integral formalism is shown by deriving the quantum mechanical propagator from it. Additionally, an introduction to elements of constructive quantum field theory is provided for readers.
Nima Moshayedi’s research is in mathematical physics where he is interested in geometric and algebraic methods of quantum field theory. In particular, his focus lies on topological quantum field theories, local gauge theories, algebraic topology, symplectic geometry, quantization procedures and higher structures in quantum field theory.
