This week there will be lectures on wednesday

(one hour of very løast topic(s)- spontanous symmetry breaking in QCd,- and thermal field theory) and one hour repetition (QED).

Thursday: Two hours repetiion

This week there will be lectures on wednesday

(one hour of very løast topic(s)- spontanous symmetry breaking in QCd,- and thermal field theory) and one hour repetition (QED).

Thursday: Two hours repetiion

Next week there will be lectures wednesday  and thursday - as usual-

Subject: Gauge fixing and Ghosts

Next week there will be lectures wednesday the 8th of may.

The we will have 3 hours,- i.e. from 14.15 until 17.00-

with 2 breaks (thursday is a holiday)

As it looks now;- the oral exam will take place :

Wednesday the 5th of june.

This week there will be lecture thursday the 2. of may.

Then we start the discussion on Pathe integrals and functional methods.

A new version of "5120-plan" (preliminary plan)

is now available.

Next week there will be lectures wednesday the 24 th

(starting with commenting on given problems for  week number 16)

-and thiusday the 25th of april

Next week (17 and 18. april) there will be no lectures because Im away on  a conference in particle physics.  

Next week there will be lecture(s) ONLY thursday the 11th

of april (10.15 to 12 as usual).

The mid-term result is finished,- and it will appear her as soon as possible. It is deleayed because of some changes on the web for UiO courses

Next lecture will be thusrday the 4th of april (no lecture on wednesday the 3rd) . We continue the discussion on elctroweak interaction-also combined with QCD.

Subject(s):  Topics within QCD and eklectroweak interactions

An updated plan/schedule for the course is now available (5120-plan2.pdf).

A preliminary version of some notes on RGE is now available.

This week there will as usual be lectures wednesday and thursday

Subject: Renormalization group (Callan Symanzik eq.) in QCD

I have got some questions about the use of the ~ in eq. 3 of the problems- it means "proportional to"- but I admit this is a bit unprecise. I should for inst have written instead of ~

= a \times , where |a|=1

The background for using ~ was differnt sign conventions, number og imaginary units , which I didnt want that you would struggle with... JOE

The problems for Mid Term Exam are now available.

There will be Mid-term exam (home) from monday 25th of february until tuesday the 5th of march. The problems for Mid term exam will be put on the Web friday afternoon the 22nd of february. Very last chance to deliver the written answer will be wednesday the 6th of march at the lecture 14.15.

This week there will be lectures wednesday the 20th at 14.15 and thursday the 21.th of febr at 10.15. The subject will be: The Renormaization Group Equations (RGE) (First for (\Phi)^4 theory;- Later for QCD)

Important message on Mid-term exam:

As indicated at last lecture, the mid-term exam (home exam) will be earler than previously planned, namely already in week 9 (Monday the 25th of february to friday first of march) instead of in mid march as indicated at the preliminary plan.

Next week there will be lectures wednesdayrhe 13th of february at 14.15 - 16 and thursday 14th of february at 10.15-12. I will talk more on infrared divergence for soft photons. Then on absorptive parts and the optical theorem. JOE

Next week there will be lectures wednesday the 6th of febr.,14.15-16 and thursday 7th. of febr, 10.15-12. We continue with the regularization and renormalization of Vertex correction. Further on Ward identities, and emission of (a) soft photon(s)

This week there will be lectures wednesday 30th of jan.,14.15-16 and thursday 31th of jan., 10.15-12. We continue with the regularization and renormalization of Vacuum polarization and Vertex correction.

Next week there will be lecturtes tuesday the 22th at 10.15-12 and wednesday the 23rd at 14.15-16.

We continue the description of the three divergent one-loop diagrams in QED
