The 2006 second edition of this book develops the basic formalism and theoretical techniques for studying relativistic field theory at finite temperature and density. It covers renormalization, linear response theory, spontaneous symmetry breaking, lattice gauge theory, and nucleation theory. Applications to astrophysics, cosmology, and relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions are also included.
