Modern functional quantum field theory : summing Feynman graphs /

A monograph, which can also be used as a textbook for graduate students, this book contains new and novel applications of Schwinger's well-known functional solutions, made possible by the use of Fradkin's little-known functional representations, together with recent research work of the au...
