This second volume of three on relativistic quantum theories of interacting charged particles discusses quantum theories of systems with variable numbers of particles. Basics of the Fock space and quantum electrodynamics are covered with an emphasis on renormalization. In contrast to the usual treatment of the topic, particles (rather than fields) are chosen as basic ingredients. Contents Fock spaceScattering in Fock space Quantum electrodynamics Renormalization Useful integrals Quantum fields of fermions Quantum field of photons QED interaction in terms of particle operators Relativistic invariance of QFT Loop integrals in QED Scattering matrix in (v/c)2 approximation Checks of physical dimensions
