Review of quantum statistical mechanics -- Functional integral representation of the partition function -- Interactions and diagrammatic techniques -- Renormalization -- Quantum electrodynamics -- Linear response theory -- Spontaneous symmetry breaking and restoration -- Quantum chromodynamics -- Resummation and hard thermal loops -- Lattice gauge theory -- Dense nuclear matter -- Hot hadronic matter -- Nucleation theory -- Heavy ion collisions -- Weak interactions -- Astrophysics and cosmology. Finite-Temperature Field Theory develops the basic formalism and theoretical techniques for studying relativistic quantum field theory at high temperature and density. It is assumed that the reader has some familiarity with thermal and statistical physics and with relativistic quantum field theory. Topics include functional integral representation of the partition function, diagrammatic expansions, linear response Physics Quantum field theory.
