Dyson Quantenfeldtheorie

The famous lecture by Freeman Dyson - now for the first time in German. In the 1940s, Freeman Dyson demonstrated the equivalence between the two formulations of QED - Richard Feynman's path integral approach and Julian Schwinger's variational methods - thereby proving the consistency of QED. This book includes the valuable lectures on quantum field theory that Dyson delivered at Cornell University in 1951, which have never been published in German before. The theorist Edwin Thompson Jaynes remarked: "For a generation of physicists, these lectures were a gain: clearer and better motivated than Feynman's lectures, and faster and more compact than Schwinger's." Future readers will also enjoy these lectures greatly and benefit from the clear style that has always been characteristic of Dyson.
