Quantum Field Theory Course (Lecture 1) by Suvrat Raju - 8th Jan 2024

GRADUATE COURSES - 2024: Quantum Field Theory Course I Teacher: Suvrat Raju Venue: Feynman Lecture Hall Class Timings: Mondays & Wednesdays from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM First Meeting: 8 January 2024 Course Description: This is an introductory quantum field theory (QFT) course. The course will try and also cater to students who have had some previous exposure to the object. So the course will start with the basics of QFT but also seek to cover some advanced material. Syllabus: The need for fields; Canonical quantization of fields; Particles; Perturbation theory; Feynman diagrams; Properties of the S matrix; Renormalization; Functional Methods; Gauge theories; if time permits, we will discuss New methods for scattering amplitudes Textbooks: 1) Introduction to quantum field theory, Peskin and Schroeder 2) Quantum Theory of Fields vol I and vol II, Weinberg 3) Notes from Sidney Coleman's Physics 253a, https://arxiv.org/abs/1110.5013 References to additional textbooks and notes will be provided during the lectures.
