Supersymmetry: Scans of Lecture Notes
Most lectures — regular or extra — for the QFT classes are mirrored on Zoom and recorded on the cloud,
with the records available on Canvas.
Unfortunately, due to techical glitches some lectures do not get recorded.
For these un-recorded lectures, I am going to scan my notes, post them on my web site, and link them to this page, see below.
- Regular lecture #5 on September 9:
- This class did not get recorded at all, but fortunately I used pre-made notes for the whole lecture:
Part 1: corrections to SF Feynman rules for chiral SF, see revised notes.
Main rule to remember for chiral SF propagators: arrow heads come with D̅2 operators,
arrow tails come with D2 operators.
Part 2: SQED superfield Feynman rules.
Part 3: SQED beta function, 1-loop calculation is SF formalism.
Part 4: Intro to Ward–Takahashi identities (pages 1–2);
see also homework set #3 (problem 3).
- Regular lecture #8 on September 18:
- This class did not get recorded — or even mirrored on Zoom — due to computer crash.
I used the document camera rather than pre-made notes for the whole class.
Here are the scans of mu notes.
