In the first half of the course, we cover material which for example is also covered in David Tong’s lectures here.
Lecture Notes of a similar course taught in winter 11/12 (notes taken by Bettina Grauel in the fall 11/12, not proofread) are here.
Sydney Coleman’s famous Harvard Lectures on QFT
additional information
First part of a year long course on QFT, for students of physics as well as mathematics.
Part of the theoretical curriculum in the specialization particle physics, also of interest to students of theoretical solid state physics.
Exercises bi-weekly.
The course can be examined in the ‘Wahlpflichtfach Elementarteilchenphysik’.
