Self-contained introduction to the path integral method in field theory and its applications to quantum anomalies. The subjects covered are relevant to particle and high-energy nuclear theory, conformal field theory, applications to condensed matter theory, and string theory....

The Feynman path integrals are becoming increasingly important in the applications of quantum mechanics and field theory. The path integral formulation of quantum anomalies, i.e. the quantum breaking of certain symmetries, can now cover all the known quantum anomalies in a coherent manner. In this book the authors provide an introduction to the...
