Arthur Jaffe Livres

This volume features a collection of expository articles on quantum field theory and statistical mechanics by James Glimm and Arthur Jaffe. It discusses the original interacting quantum field equations and their physical implications, highlighting critical points, coupling constants, and particle structures. The authors delve into advanced topics such as critical exponents, confinement, and instantons, providing insights into the foundational aspects of quantum fields, which have been integral to the field since their inception in the late 1920s.

The book delves into advanced topics in quantum field theory, including critical point dominance, the behavior of mass and critical exponents in various models, and the entropy principle for vertex functions. It explores the structure of particles in quantum interactions, confinement, and instantons, as well as reflection positivity. The content is structured into sections discussing theoretical frameworks, mathematical formulations, and specific models like the lp' and Yukawa models, providing a comprehensive overview for researchers and students in the field.
