Second half of a full year course in Quantum Field Theory. The focus will be on symmetries in quantum field theory, with a particular emphasis on the Poincare group and its representations. Quantization of spin-1/2 fields will be subsequently covered, followed by an in-depth treatment of Quantum Electrodynamics and its renormalization. An introduction to path integral quantization and non-Abelian gauge theories will also be included.
