Ideal for researchers and graduate students at the interface between mathematics and physics, this text develops quantum field theory from the ground up using a rich mix of modern mathematics. It provides a unified approach to deformation quantization, Hochschild homology, vertex algebras, conformal field theory, quantum groups, and gauge theory.
