Objectives of the Course

Relativistic Quantum Physics is a course where important theories for elementary particle physics and symmetries are learned. During the course, it will be illustrated how relativistic symmetries and gauge symmetries can restrict "possible" theories. The course will give an introduction to perturbation theory and Feynman diagrams.

Course Content

Tensor notation. Casimir operators. The Poincaré group. Irreducible representations of particles. The Klein-Gordon equation. The Dirac equation. The structure of Dirac particles. The Dirac equation: central potentials. The Weyl equation.
