Courses Relevant to IQTG Research

This is a list of graduate courses taught at UT Austin by Prof. Arno Bohm that have covered topics relevant to the research of the IQTG.

The following links are under construction. For some courses below there are a few lecture notes, but for many there is nothing yet. This will be rectified gradually.

Spring 2001 PHY 389K---Quantum Mechanics I Core class covering fundamentals of quantum mechanics necessary for graduate study for all students.

Summer 2000 PHY 381N---Mathematical Methods for Physicists This is an introductory course on the Mathematics of Quantum Physics, but it is geared towards the modern developments (Rigged Hilbert Spaces, distributions, representations of groups and semigroups) and their applications to the time asymmetric quantum theory and the theory of resonances and decay phenomena. The course consists of two parts: The first part introduces and explains the mathematics; the second part describes the interpretation of the mathematical theory in quantum physics. Syllabus (.ps file).

Spring 2000 PHY 389L---Quantum Mechanics II Advanced course covering topics from time-dependent perturbation theory, scattering theory and resonance phenomena. Class notes from first few lectures (.ps file). These provide and introduction to the time evolution of states and observables in terms of the Cauchy problem. Put to together from notes of A. Bohm by N.L. Harshman with moral support from M. Mithaiwala.

Fall 1999 PHY 389K---Quantum Mechanics I Core class covering fundamentals of quantum mechanics necessary for graduate study for all students. Class notes on perturbation theory updated 4/30/2001 (.ps file). Put together from notes of A. Bohm by M. Mithaiwala.

Spring/Summer 1998, Spring/Summer 1999 PHY 381N---Mathematical Methods for Physicists Topics covered included linear topological spaces and group representation theory.

Fall 1997 PHY 394T---Scattering and Decay with Application to Kaons Topics covered included scattering theory, decay phenomenology and CP violation as applied to the neutral K-mesons.

Fall 1996 PHY 396K---Quantum Field Theory I Using S. Weinberg's book, with special emphasis on group representations and scattering.
