List of quantum field theories
This is a list of quantum field theories. The first few sections are organized according to their matter content, that is, the types of fields appearing in the theory. This is just one of many ways to organize quantum field theories, but reflects the way the subject is taught pedagogically.
Scalar field theory
Theories whose matter content consists of only scalar fields
- Klein-Gordon: free scalar field theory
- φ4 theory
- Sine-Gordon
- Toda field theory
Spinor field theory
Theories whose matter content consists only of spinor fields
- Dirac theory: free spinor field theory
- Thirring model
- Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model
- Gross–Neveu model
Gauge field theory
Theories whose matter content consists only of gauge fields
- Yang–Mills theory
- Proca theory
- Chern–Simons theory
Interacting theories
- Spinor and scalar
- Yukawa model
- Scalar and gauge
- Scalar electrodynamics
- Scalar chromodynamics
- Yang–Mills–Higgs
- Spinor and gauge
- Quantum electrodynamics (QED)
- Schwinger model (1+1D case of QED)
- Quantum chromodynamics (QCD)
- Quantum electrodynamics (QED)
- Scalar, spinor and gauge
Sigma models
Supersymmetric quantum field theories
- Wess–Zumino model
- Supersymmetric Yang–Mills
- 4D N = 1 global supersymmetry
- Seiberg–Witten theory
- Super QCD (sQCD)
Superconformal quantum field theories
- N = 4 supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory
- ABJM superconformal field theory
- 6D (2,0) superconformal field theory
Supergravity quantum field theories

- 4D N = 1 supergravity
- Type I supergravity
- Type IIA supergravity
- Type IIB supergravity

String theories
Theories studied in the branch of quantum field theory known as string theory. These theories are without supersymmetry.
