Fun in Flatland: an introduction to 3d QFTs
Ken Intriligator
(UC San Diego)
Abstract:
Three dimensional quantum field theories provide a nice testing grounds for exploring quantum field theory phenomena. Very simple UV theories can have highly nontrivial, and rich IR dynamics. These lectures will give a pedagogical review of various aspects of quantum field theory, including instantons, monopoles, the conformal window, vortices, skyrmions, Chern-Simons terms, etc., in the context of 3d quantum field theories. In the context of susy theories, we will review older work on exact results, mirror symmetry and duality, and also mention some more recent results.
