Mathematical and conceptual aspects of the special and general theories of relativity. Lorentz transformations, covariant formulation of the laws of nature. The equivalence principle, curved spaces, solutions of the equations of relativity. Prerequisite: PHYSICS 606.

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 of non-Abelian gauge theories will also be included.
