Which QFT Books Offer a Math-Centric Perspective?

Click For Summary
Recommendations for quantum field theory (QFT) books with a mathematical focus emphasize geometry and conceptual understanding rather than detailed calculations. Naber's volume 1 is noted as an excellent choice. Ticciati is also highlighted for its mathematical perspective akin to Peskin's work. Other potential books include titles from Amazon that cater to a rigorous mathematical approach to QFT. A linked thread on Physics Stack Exchange offers a broader list of recommended texts, providing additional resources for those seeking a deeper mathematical insight into the standard model and introductory QFT topics.

I'm looking for recommendations for QFT books written from a more math perspective. I'm looking for the usual intro topics, including the standard model, etc. Ideally, emphasis on geometry and understanding. Calculating scattering in gory detail isn't my goal.

From this thread:

I've already picked up Naber vol 1, which is excellent so far. I'm also leaning towards getting Ticciati, since it sounds like Peskin from a math viewpoint, which sounds very promising.

Any other recommendations?

Here are a few other contenders I've seen:

i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
