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.
