Quantum Field Theory 1100-4QFT
The course is addressed to students of the 2nd stage. It includes introduction to nonabelian gauge field theories and their application to strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions, as well as theoretical ideas going beyond the Standard Model.
Program:
1. Path integrals in Quantum Field Theory
2. Renormalization group equations
3. Abelian and nonabelian gauge theories
4. Basics of QCD; asymptotic freedom.
5. Symmetries and their breaking
6. Theory of electroweak interactions
7. Beyond the Standard Model
