Abstract | Research colloquium | ||||
Objective | The Zurich Theoretical Physics Colloquium is jointly organized by the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich. Its mission is to bring both students and faculty with diverse interests in theoretical physics together. Leading experts explain the basic questions in their field of research and communicate the fascination for their work. | ||||
402-0883-63L | Symmetries in Physics | 6 credits | 2V + 1U | N. Beisert | |
Abstract | The course gives an introduction to symmetry groups in physics. It will explain the relevant mathematical background (finite groups, Lie groups and algebras as well as their representations), and illustrate their important role in modern physics. | ||||
Objective | The aim of the course is to give a self-contained introduction into finite group theory as well as Lie theory from a physicists point of view. Abstract mathematical constructions will be illustrated with examples from physics. |
