Basic knowledge of quantum fields and basic elements of perturbation theory

Introduction

This is a course on quantum field theory normally taught as a second semester of quantum field theory for physics graduate students.

Syllabus

The major themes of the course are the geometry and topology of the gauge fields, quantization of non-Abelian gauge fields,

their topological and geometric effects and geometric effects and quantum anomalies (the current anomaly and the gravitational anomaly).
