Quantum Field Theory (QFT) is the central physical theory of the past century. It describes all basic constituents of matter and all interaction forces between them except gravity. In a remarkable convergence of ideas it not only led physicists to use gauge theories in describing the Standard Model of Particle Physics, by now the most comprehensive and successful physical theory. But at the same time numerous applications of topological versions of QFT have led to a new understanding of geometric invariants and the connections of mathematics and theoretical physics as a whole.
It is a major goal of this lecture series to clarify the foundations
upon which these connections are built.
We will describe QFT and the Standard Model without any
assumption of prior (explicit) physical knowledge, and will develop the
relevant concepts and the physical and mathematical language to formulate
them as they occur.
