MATH GR8250 – Topics in Representation Theory: Quantum Field Theory

Instructor: Peter Woit
Title: Topics in Representation Theory: Quantum Field Theory
Day/Time: MW 2:40PM – 3:55PM
Room: 622 Math
Abstract: This will be a course on quantum mechanics and quantum field theory for mathematicians, emphasizing a representation theory point of view on these topics.  The course will be aimed towards a goal of explaining the details of a very specific quantum field theory: the Standard Model, which provides our best current mathematical model of fundamental physics.
