內容簡介

THE first edition of this volume of the Course of Theoretical Physics was published in two parts (1971 and 1974) under the title ”Relativistic Quantum Theory”. It contained not only the basic material on quantum electrodynamics but also chapters on weak interactions and certain topics in the theory of strong interactions. The inclusion of those chapters now seems to us inopportune. The theory of strong and weak interactions is undergoing a vigorous development founded on new physical ideas, and the situation in this field is changing very rapidly, so that the time for a consistent exposition of the theory has not yet arrived. In the present edition, therefore, we have retained only quantum electrodynamics, and accordingly changed the title of the volume.
