Literature and further readings.Reviews“The topics covered are presented at a very high level in all respects. Though most of the material is well established, the book is strongly influenced by the personality of the author, including his scientific positions and preferences. … the book is a useful and valuable addition to the existing special literature on the formal aspects of modern quantum field theory.” (Ilya Shapiro, Mathematical Reviews, February, 2024) Author InformationLoriano Bonora has been Professor of Field Theory at the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA), Trieste, Italy.
