An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory
by Mrinal Dasgupta
Publisher: University of Manchester 2008
Number of pages: 48
Description:
Presently, all observational evidence points to the fact that Quantum Field Theory (QFT) provides a good description of all known elementary particles, as well as for particle physics beyond the Standard Model for energies ranging up to the Planck scale. The scope of these lectures is to provide an introduction to the formalism of Quantum Field Theory.

Quantum Field Theory, Black Holes and Holographyby Chethan Krishnan - arXiv
These notes are an expanded version of lectures given in 2010. The aim is to provide a practical introduction to quantum field theory in curved spacetime and related black hole physics, with AdS / CFT as the loose motivation.
