	Itzykson worked in quantum field theory and statistical mechanics and ~~is linked here as coauthor~~ of ~~the~~ textbook ''Quantum Field Theory'' with Jean-Bernard Zuber.		== Career and work ==
			Itzykson worked mainly in quantum field theory and statistical mechanics, with particular attention to symmetry, group theory, lattice gauge theory, matrix integrals, random surfaces, and conformal field theory.<ref name="wiki" />

			After study at the Lycée Condorcet and the École Polytechnique, he joined the theoretical physics group at Saclay, where he spent much of his career while also holding visiting positions abroad.<ref name="wiki" /><ref name="annales">{{Cite web \|title=Claude Georges Itzykson (1938-1995) \|url=https://www.annales.org/archives/x/itzikson.html \|website=Annales des Mines \|access-date=2026-05-24}}</ref>

			His 1980 textbook ''Quantum Field Theory'', written with Jean-Bernard Zuber, became a standard graduate reference and remains the reason he is linked from the QFT further-reading list.<ref name="wiki" />
