In summary, quantum field theory (QFT) is a theoretical framework that combines the principles of quantum mechanics and special relativity to describe the behavior of subatomic particles. It is used in mathematical physics to study the interactions and dynamics of particles at a fundamental level. QFT has been successfully applied in various areas of physics, such as particle physics, condensed matter physics, and cosmology. It allows for the calculation of physical quantities and the prediction of experimental results, making it an essential tool in understanding the fundamental laws of the universe.

Hello to everybody,
I am Fraboz, a PhD student in Mathematical Physics starting from next month.
One day I would like to understand something about QFT.
I hope to learn and have fun here!
