Geometry and Quantum Field Theory
Spring 2023
The main goal of this course is to present the basic ideas of quantum field theory (QFT) in a completely rigorous and mathematical way. Topics of the course include generalities on classical and quantum mechanics and field theory, 0-dimensional QFT, 1-dimensional QFT, *d*\-dimensional QFT, supergeometry and field theories with fermions, and an introduction to 2-dimensional conformal field theory.
