Quantum Field Theory
Details
This is an advanced study group dedicated to the rigorous study of Quantum Field Theory. The following prerequisites are assumed:
- Linear Algebra
- Multivariate Calculus
- Ordinary and partial differential equations
- Quantum mechanics,
- Electromagnetism and Special Relativity.
Our main textbook is Mark Srednicki's "Quantum Field Theory," which is available online: https://web.physics.ucsb.edu/~mark/ms-qft-DRAFT.pdf
We are not going through every chapter sequentially, but instead we are following a "short" path to the standard model, by reading these chapters:
22 -> 24 -> 33..39 -> 42->43 -> 54..58->69->70->75->87->88->89
For this meeting, please read chapter 33 and solve the two problems.
