Probing the consistency of quantum field theory I : from nonconvergence to Haag's theorem (1949-1954) /

"This two‐volume Element reconstructs and analyzes the historical debates on whether renormalized quantum field theory is a mathematically consistent theory. This volume covers the years the years immediately following the development of renormalized quantum electrodynamics. It begins with the...
