IGAP Lectures on Algebraic Quantum Field Theory

Mar 10, 2025, 9:00 AM → Mar 14, 2025, 6:00 PM Europe/Rome

D (SISSA old building)

This is an introductory school on Algebraic Quantum Field Theory and it is organised with the aim of introducing the basics of the topic, reviewing its most recent developments and explicitly linking its mathematical formulation to the theoretical physics problems it addresses.

The school consists of the following short courses, for a total of 16 hours. These will be scheduled in two lectures per day (each of them lasting two hours), one in the morning and one in the afternoon, except for Monday and Friday, when there will be only one lecture, in the afternoon and in the morning respectively. 

See the timetable for the full program. 

Organizers: G. Bonelli, A. Tanzini, E. Tonni.

The lectures will take place in room D of the old SISSA building, Via Beirut 2, Trieste.

The lectures are streamed in the IGAP youtube channel
