WebDescription. The mathematics and physics around gauge theory have, since their first interaction in the mid 1970’s, prompted tremendous developments in both mathematics and physics. Deep and fundamental tools in partial differential equations have been developed to provide rigorous foundations for the mathematical study of gauge theories. WebThese are extended lecture notes of the quantum mechanics course which I amteaching in the Weizmann Institute of Science graduate physics program. Theycover the topics listed below. The first four chapter are posted here. Theircontent is detailed on the next page. The other chapters are planned to beadded in the coming months. 1. Motion in External …

WebThese notes give an in-troduction to eld theories exhibiting various types of symmetries, including Yang-Mills theory, supersymmetric eld theories, gravity, supergravity and higher-spin gauge theories. The latter are highly symmetric relativistic theo-ries conjectured to underlay quantum gravity and String Theory. WebN= 1 supersymmetric gauge theories.
