Thermal Quantum Field Theory
- Attention: Due to new regulations, there will be no lecture from We, 11.03.20, presumably until early April. At the moment, I have no way to give the lecture online via streaming. If there are any changes, I will let you know on the homepage.
This is an introductory course to thermal and non-thermal quantum field theory. Planned contents and outcomes can be found on the TISS web page. The language of the lecture is English.
Dates: 04.03.2020 - 24.06.2020
Time: 14:00 - 16:00
Room: Sem.R. DB yellow 07
Content:
- Introduction
- Path integrals, generating functionals, 1PI eff. action
- Matter and interactions
- Gauge fields, HTL
- Non-equilibrium QFT
Lecture Notes:
- by A. Schmitt (revised by A. Rebhan), Thermal field theory, the lecture will mostly cover the topics of this manuscript but in a different order (and some parts will be dropped);
- by M. Laine and A. Vuorinen, Basics of Thermal Field Theory, more detailed lecture notes, some topics of the lecture will follow this work;
- by J. Berges, Introduction to Nonequilibrium Quantum Field Theory, covers topics on nonequilibrium field theory;
- M. Peskin and D. Schroeder, An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory, for functional methods (path integrals, Z, W, 1PI effective action) see Chapters 9 and 11
