Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
By the end of the course, the student should know the path-integral formulation of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. He/she should know the 1-loop renormalisation of Quantum Electro-Dynamics (QED), the Ward-Takahashi identities and the Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) transformations in QED. The student should know the basics of renormalisation group and beta function.
Content of UE
Teaching in English.
Path integral formulation of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. Definition, gaussian approximation. Quantum Electro-Dynamics (QED). Feynmann diagrams in QED. Classification of the divergent diagrams at one loop. Regularisation and renormalisation. Renormalisation group, beta function. Dimensional regularisation.
Prior Experience
