Inhalt:

Contents:
The course covers an introduction to quantum field theory. The following main topics will be discussed in the lecture:

  • Motivation Quantum Field Theory

  • Classical Field Theory (Hamiltonian, Lagrange formalism for classical field theories)

  • Relativistic Quantum Mechanics (Klein-Gordon and Dirac equation)

  • Representation Theory Lorentz- und Poincare-Groups (finite dimensional scalar- , vector, tensor and spinor representations of the Lorentz group, infinite dimensional representations: field representations, finite and infinite dimensional representation of the Poincare group)

  • Quantisation of Free Fields (multi particle states, Fock space, canonical quantisation of scalar, vector and spinor fields)

  • Quantisation of Interacting Field Theories (interaction picture, Dyson series, perturbation theory, S-matrix, Feynman rules, Higgs Mechanism)

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:
