Title: Relativistic Quantum Mechanics and Introduction to Field Theory
Description: This is an advanced textbook meant as a primer in quantum theory for graduate students. A full relativistic treatment of particle dynamics needs to be based on quantum field theory. However, there exists a variety of processes that can be discussed with concepts like potentials, classical current distributions, prescribed external fields dealt with in the framework of relativistic quantum mechanics. Then, in an introduction to field theory the author emphasizes the deduction of the said potentials or currents. The unique feature of this book is the modern presentation of the subject together with many exercises and furthermore the underlying concept to combine a reference book on relativistic quantum mechanics with an introduction into quantum field theory.
