Covering theory is an important tool in representation theory of algebras, however, the results and the proofs are scattered in the literature. We give an introduction to covering theory at a level as elementary as possible.
These lectures are a brief introduction to supersymmetry.
These lecture notes cover the theory of convex optimization, with a particular emphasis on first-order methods.
In the framework of the Time Dependent Scattering Theory we discuss three forms of Cluster Separability as well as the conditions for the representation of the scattering system dynamics implied by their respective use.
The purpose of this paper is to provide an introduction to the physics of scattering theory, to define the dosimetric concept of linear energy transfer in terms of scattering theory, and to provide an introduction to the concepts underlying…
Quantum mechanical scattering theory is a subject with a long and winding history. We shall pick out some of the most important concepts and ideas of scattering theory and look at them from the perspective of Bohmian mechanics: Bohmian…
In these lectures we present a few topics in Quantum Field Theory in detail. Some of them are conceptual and some more practical. They have been selected because they appear frequently in current applications to Particle Physics and String…
The goal of this lecture is to introduce the student to the theory of Special Relativity. Not to overload the content with mathematics, the author will stick to the simplest cases; in particular only reference frames using Cartesian…
These lecture notes are intended to introduce the theory of rotating stars in general relativity. The focus is put on the theoretical foundations, with a detailed discussion of the spacetime symmetries, the choice of coordinates and the…
Lecture notes on selected topics in the theory of gravitation.
These lecture notes concern the basics of the theory of process behaviour. First the concept of a (labelled) transition system receives ample treatment and then the following issues concerning process behaviour are elaborated in the setting…
These lecture notes bridge a gap between introductory quantum field theory (QFT) courses and state-of-the-art research in scattering amplitudes. They cover the path from basic definitions of QFT to amplitudes relevant for processes in the…
I describe the current status of the theory of pi pi scattering, reviewing in particular recent work on the numerical solution of Roy equations and on the matching between these and the chiral representation. I discuss numerical results on…
Expanded lecture notes. Preliminary version, comments are welcome.
We outline a global approach to scattering theory in one dimension that allows for the description of a large class of scattering systems and their $\mathcal{P}$-, $\mathcal{T}$-, and $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetries. In particular, we…
An updated formulation of soft diffraction, compatible with $s$ and $t$ channel unitarity, is presented. Its consequent general soft scattering features at high energies are explored. The critical interplay between theory and data analysis…
This text is an introduction to the study of NIP (or dependent) theories. It is meant to serve two purposes. The first is to present various aspects of NIP theories and give the reader the background material needed to understand almost any…
These lectures give a pedagogical introduction to real and virtual Compton scattering at low energies. We will first discuss real Compton scattering off a point particle as well as a composite system in the framework of nonrelativistic…
These five lectures collect elementary facts about 4D supersymmetric theories with emphasis on N=1 supersymmetry, as well as the basic notions of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. Contents: I. From symmetries to supersymmetry; II. Basic…
We study relativistic scattering when one only has access to a subset of the particles, using the language of quantum measurement theory. We give an exact, non-perturbative formula for the von Neumann entanglement entropy of an apparatus…
