Introduction to Algebraic and Constructive Quantum Field Theory

John C. Baez, Irving E. Segal and Zhengfang Zhou

The book Introduction to Algebraic and Constructive Quantum Field Theory is primarily a exposition of my thesis advisor Irving Segal's pioneering work on these subjects. It was published by Princeton University Press in 1992. Unfortunately, it is out of print. Luckily, Princeton University Press is allowing me to distribute it electronically from my website. My student Miguel Carrión Álvarez scanned in a photocopy of the book and made a large PDF file of it (about 202 megabytes). Later, some Russians made a far smaller version (3.26 megabytes) using the more efficient DjVu format. You can download either version here: Eventually, Princeton University Press plans to make this book, and many of their other out-of-print books, available on a "print-by-demand" basis.
