Lorentz Transfotmation and Structure of Dirac Eq
|
We study how two Weyl spinors are connected by a parity. Why dirac spinors must be a 4 component. The answer is the parity invariance. |

Goldstone theorem: when continuous symmetry is broken spontaneously, massless particles appears. Coleman-Mermin-Wagner theorem: in one and 2 dimension, symmetry can not be broken and order is not possible. |

Basic Renormalization Theory with Effective Potential
|
Calculation of Coleman-Weinberg potential and its renormalization will be explicitly demonstrated and thereby show how vacuum fluctuation can induce instability of old vacuum and sometimes lead to symmetry breaking. |

Magnetic Monopole / Non-abelian Gange Theory
|
We introduce the magnetic monopole and charge quantization as its consequence. We also introduce the non-abelian gauge theory and gauge prnciple. |

Anderson - Higgs Mechanism
|
Introduce the Higgs mechanism using the abelian Higgs model and then use it to explain how the gauge boson gets mass by eating goldstone boson. |

Superconductivity vs Superfluidity
|
We explain the superconductivity by abelian higgs model and show how the London quation can be obtained from it. Superfluidity is explained by the linearity of the dispersion relation which gives the lack of the density of state using Feynman argument. |

|
Symmetry Breaking and Instability by Quantum Fluctuation

We use the Weinberg-Coleman effective potential of fermion to explain the Peiels instability. |

|
Boson,Fermion and Anyon
|
We demonstrate the non-triviality of 360 degree rotation and the triviality of 720 degree rotation in 3 dimension, which lead to the possibility of fermion and boson as the only possibility in 3 dimension. On the other hand, there is no such triviality in two dimension, leading to anyon therein. |
