| 402-0844-00L | Quantum Field Theory II Studierende der UZH dürfen diese Lerneinheit nicht an der ETH belegen, sondern müssen das entsprechende Modul direkt an der UZH buchen. | 10 KP | 3V + 2U | N. Beisert | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | The subject of the course is modern applications of quantum field theory with emphasis on the quantization of non-abelian gauge theories. | ||||
| Lernziel | The goal of this course is to lay down the path integral formulation of quantum field theories and in particular to provide a solid basis for the study of non-abelian gauge theories and of the Standard Model | ||||
| Inhalt | The following topics will be covered: - path integral quantization - non-abelian gauge theories and their quantization - systematics of renormalization, including BRST symmetries, Slavnov-Taylor Identities and the Callan-Symanzik equation - the Goldstone theorem and the Higgs mechanism - gauge theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking and their quantization - renormalization of spontaneously broken gauge theories and quantum effective actions | ||||
