Outline
- Classical field theory:
space-time symmetries, internal symmetries, Noether theorem, conservation laws
- Quantisation:
quantisation of free fields: bosons & fermions, Wick's theorem, Scattering matrix, Green functions
- Perturbation theory:
Feynman rules, renormalisation, radiative corrections, LSZ, path integral
- Applications:
QED, Non-Abelian gauge theories, Spontaneous symmetry breaking, standard model
- Quantum field theory, basics
- Quantum field theory, applications
