description: This volume contains some of Bogolubov's papers on quantum field theory and the theory of elementary particles. The work undertaken by the author in the 1950s gave rise to some entirely new concepts, which include his suggestion that an appropriate mathematical method for quantum field theory should involve distributions, and his dismissal of his contemporaries' view of divergences as a problem. Also included in this collection are Bogolubov's proof of the theorem that the scattering matrix is determined in each order of peturbation theory up to quasi-local operators, together with his formulation of the method of the renormalization group in quantum field theory
