LTP Colloquium

Mathematical Physics meets Particle Physics

Thursday, April 26, 2007, 16:00
WHGA Auditorium

J. Fröhlich, ETHZ

Abstract:
Results on general quantum field theory, Higgs models and the Higgs mass, \phi^{4} theory, anomalies, and theories with extra dimensions will be sketched that have grown out of a somewhat mathematical view at Physics but might interest people, who see Physics as ONE beautiful field of the Natural Sciences, including particle theorists. The lecturer doesn't know precisely, yet, what the main emphasis of his lecture will be focused on (he is struggling with his duties as the chair of the Physics Department of ETH), and the lecture is some kind of experiment in communicating a point of view on what Theoretical Physics may (or may have been) about. The audience is asked to be patient and generous in reserving enough time for this experiment.
