Please be patient. I will respond to your email, but it may take a while.

This page lists corrections to the fifth or later printings  (reads "5th printing", "6th printing" etc. on imprint page).
Corrections to the third (reads "3rd printing 2015")  or fourth (reads "4th printing 2015") printing can be found here.
Corrections to the second printing (reads "Reprinted 2014") can be found here.
Corrections to the first printing (reads only "First published 2014") can be found here.

None so far.

## Minor corrections (Unimportant errors in equations)

p. 165, second paragraph of Section 10.21: all references to the algebra should be written as su(2) not SU(2). SU(2)xSU(2) on the 3rd line of the paragraph should be  su(2)⊕su(2)
p. 177, last paragraph. Only rotations by π are antipodal points and only these should be identified. That is, “rotations about an axis by an angle θv are the same as rotations about an axis pointing in the opposite direction by the angle -θv” should be  “rotations about an axis by an angle π are the same as rotations about an axis pointing in the opposite direction by the angle π”.
p. 177, last paragraph. The topology of SO(3) is that of RP3, however, RP3 = S3/Z2 not B3/Z2 as written.
p. 182, problem 10.5a, “infinitesimal spinor” should be simply “spinor”.
p. 195, 7th line of second full paragraph: “superselection rule” should be “selection rule”.
p. 240, Eq. (13.117): There should an overall - sign on the right-hand side, as in Eq. (13.108).
p. 240, Eq. (13.118): There should be ¼ multiplying the right-hand side.
p. 263, Eq. (14.56): There should be no Z0[0] factor on the second or 3rd lines.
p. 271, Eq. (14.97): The first and second indices should be permuted independently. So the sum should be over “permutations {in jn}” and the summand {A_{i1j1} … A_{in jn}}
p. 321, Eq. (17.33). The terms in this equation should be appropriate for a complex scalar selectron and smuon. So a number of fields should be barred or conjugated and the factors of ½ should be removed.
p. 347, Eq. (19.52), First line. The exponent of ∆ should be "d/2 - 2" instead of "2 - d/2".
p. 359, Eq. (20.21). There are too many μ indices. the 2nd and 4th μ’s on the right-hand side should be v’s.
p. 359, Eq. (20.23). There second expression "2(f(Q2) +δ1)σ0" should be  "2Re[f(Q2) +δ10".
p. 402, Eq. (22.19). The dagger at the end should not be there.
p. 402, Eq. (22.20). The coefficient 1/18 should be 4/45 in the second term.
p. 436, Eq. (32.86). The potential is not exactly the 2-point function, due to the convention for normalization of the relativistic fields. Drop the correlation function in this equation (the second term).
p. 454, Eq. (24.10): The two delta-functions should be inside the integral.
p. 456, between Eqs. (24.21) and (24.22), “M=λ” should be “M=i λ”.
p. 457, Eq. (24.30): left-hand side should be “i Mloop” instead of “Mloop”.
p. 464, First line: Im M <= |M|^2 should be Im M >= |M|^2.
p. 511, Eq. (26.14). The color matrices should be symmetrized. That is "Taik Tbkj" should be replaced by "{Ta,Tb}ij".
p. 604, Eq. (29.79): There is a missing factor of cos2θw that should be multiplying (Jz)2 in the last term.
p. 635, end of second paragraph. The sentence “Note that for B-L to be non-anomalous, there must be right-handed neutrinos, since these carry lepton number.” should be removed.
pp. 660-662: There are a number of sign errors. The first is in Eq. (31.95) where the final fermion propagator should have -i in the numerator rather than i. There should consequently be a factor of -1 added to Eqs. (31.96), (31.97), (31.99), (31.103), (31.104), (31.105) and (31.106). Eq. (31.107) is correct as printed.
