Aims

Further training in field theory, both classical and quantum. In certain cases, support for a master thesis.

Main themes

The contents can vary from year to year, depending on the interests of the audience. The following subjects have been covered during the last few years:
1. Complements of quantum field theory: renormalization problems; infrared problem; dimensional regularization; rigorous approaches
2. Nonlinear differential equations: general properties, solitons; conservation laws; Bäcklund transformations; inverse scattering methods, Lax pairs; sigma models and the ZMS method
3. Coherent states and applications: Canonical coherent states; generalizations; wavelets.
