QFT3 (Part 2 of Sussex QFT2) - Renormalization

This course is a first 15 lecture introduction to renormalization. The syllabus is: Loop diagrams and IR/UV divergences: Renormalization of QED and QCD. Asymptotic freedom.

Important Dates and Times 2020: Lectures are:(last two this week tuesday and friday) Lecture 1: monday, 11:00am-noon, 2/3, 9/3, 16/3, 23/3, 27/4 Lecture 1: wednesday, 4:00pm-5:00pm, 4/3, 11/3, 18/3, 25/3, 29/4 Lecture 3: friday, 4:00pm-5:00pm, 6/3, 13/3, 20/3, 27/3, 1/5.

Resources: Here you will find lecture notes and the board notes (last years until I update with this years post lecture) I strongly recommend those of you in Sussex print the hand writen notes and annotate them in lectures since the electronic board can be dodgy on indices etc. Scans of my lecture note: intro to complex analysis week 1 and the board notes: LT1-2 and LT3 week 2 and the board notes LT4&5 and LT6 week 3 and the board notes LT7&8 and LT9 week 4 and the board notes LT10&11 and LT12 IR divergences and the board notes LT13&14 g-2 & Chiral anomaly and the board notes LT15 A useful link for Feynman parametrization Typed notes are available here Problem Sheet - due in by 26th March but you should be able to complete it after week 2 of lectures. Final large problem - due in early May.
