PHYS-757: Axiomatic Quantum Field Theory

Summary

Presentation of Wightman's axiomatic framework to QFT as well as to the necessary mathematical objects to their understanding (Hilbert analysis, distributions, group representations,...).

Proofs of the main mathematical consequences (CPT, spin-statistics, Reeh-Schlieder, Haag no-go).

Teaching & PhD Courses Algèbre linéaire et géométrie (pour MAN) PREPA-032(a) We present the fundamental notions of linear algebra in the geometric context where they emerged. We will therefore emphasize the dimensions 2 and 3, and insist on the visualisation of classical objects and operations in the plane and in the 3D space. Analysis I (for CMS) PREPA-003(a) This first semester class is an introduction to the basis of differential calculus. Analysis II (for CMS)
