15 April 2010
p.6, "this requires" should be "the simplest possibility is
for" (but note that if ψ is a scalar, then |ψ|^2
cannot be a probability density) (EFF).
p.462, eq.(75.29), +(p,μ↔q,ν)
is wrong; we do this exchange and then contract with p_μ.
p.462, eq.(75.33), +(p,μ↔q,ν)
should be -(ν,l↔ρ,-l); you need to do some
work to see this.
p.464, eq.(75.44), +(p,μ↔q,ν)
should be -(ν↔ρ).

K_i.
(JZ)
22 April 2009
p.196, the discussion after eq.(31.22) is incorrect; Π(k²)
depends on k² through D, and so we need
an O(λ) finite part for the A counterterm that we

p.440, in the 2nd diagram in fig.(73.2), ρ and
ν should be swapped to agree with
eq.(73.6). (CLL)

side. (YS)
p.534, in the last line of eq.(85.23), the g in the first term should

-λ. (JR,MWe)

v spinors should be in bold type. (YK)

removed them). (YK)
