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.
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.
| 1. | Analyze the Klein-Gordon and the Dirac equations. |
| 2. | Know Maxwell's equations and classical Yang-Mills theory. |
| 3. | Kuantize Klein-Gordon, Dirac, and Majorana fields as well as formulate the Lagrangian for these fields. |
| 4. | Use perturbation theory in simple quantum field theories. |
| 5. | Derive Feynman rules from simple quantum field theories as well as interpret Feynman diagrams. |
