Functional methods of Quantum Field Theory (Semester 8)
The lecture course gives basic concepts of functional integral formalism in quantum field theory. Along with the application of path integrals to formulation of quantum field theory and solution of various problems, we discuss a possibility of rigorous definition of the functional integral in quantum field theory.
