Books in the Covariant Quantization category focus on methods of quantizing classical fields while maintaining explicit relativistic (Lorentz) covariance, a cornerstone of modern high-energy and theoretical physics. This genre spans advanced introductions and research monographs on path-integral and operator approaches to gauge theories, including Faddeev–Popov gauge fixing, ghost fields, BRST symmetry and cohomology, Ward identities, renormalization, and anomalies. Works typically contrast covariant and canonical quantization, develop the formal machinery needed for quantum electrodynamics and non-Abelian Yang–Mills theories, and extend to applications in gravity and string theory. Aimed at advanced students, researchers, and mathematically inclined physicists, these books emphasize both conceptual foundations and technical tools for handling constrained systems and preserving symmetry at the quantum level.
