Therein lies the main focus of Euclidean field theory. The notion of Gaussian measure and the construction of the Wiener measure are covered. As well, the notion of classical mechanics and the Schrdinger picture of quantum mechanics are recalled. There, the equivalence to the path integral formalism is shown by deriving the quantum mechanical propagator from it. Additionally, an introduction to elements of constructive quantum field theory is provided for readers. 001471946 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed July 26, 2023). 001471946 650_0 $$aQuantum field theory. 001471946 650_0 $$aFeynman integrals. 001471946 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001471946 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMoshayedi, Nima$$tQuantum Field Theory and Functional Integrals$$dSingapore : Springer,c2023$$z9789819935291 001471946 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in physics. 001471946 852__ $$bebk 001471946 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-99-3530-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001471946 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1471946$$pGLOBAL_SET 001471946 980__ $$aBIB 001471946 980__ $$aEBOOK 001471946 982__ $$aEbook 001471946 983__ $$aOnline 001471946 994__ $$a92$$bISE
