  • Low energy classical and quantum processes
     
  • The special theory of relativity  
     
  • Basics aspects of classical, quantum, and effective field theories  
     
  • Relativistic kinematics and dynamics - classical and quantum (field), scatterings and decays  
     
  • Symmetries and conservation laws    
     
    		•
  • Quantum electrodynamics
     
  • Non-abelian gauge fields and quarks, related mathematical structures (groups, roots, weights, etc.)
     
  • The path integral formulation (scalar, electrodynamic, spinor, non-abelian, Faddeev-Popov ghosts)
     
  • Miscellaneous topics: strings, Majorana mass, supersymmetry, larger groups (GUTs), topics beyond the Standard model, etc.
     
  • Appendices covering various relevant mathematical topics: Dirac delta distribution, complex integration, Grassmann variables, groups, representations and algebras, multi-dimensional Gaussian operator integrals
