This is an introductory course to thermal and non-thermal quantum field theory.
Registration modalities: Registration takes place in TISS. (Registration is without commitment, and does not result in an automatic issuing of a certificate.)
More information, announcements and the links to the Zoom lectures and to my (hand-written) lecture notes will be available on TUWEL.
The lecture will partially follow the lecture notes by A. Schmitt and A. Rebhan. Additionally, lecture notes by M. Laine and A. Vuorinen and the book by M. Peskin and D. Schroeder are very useful to improve one's understanding of (thermal) quantum field theory. The part covering real-time field theory will be based on the review by J. Ghiglieri, A. Kurkela, M. Strickland and A. Vuorinen and on the lecture notes by J. Berges.
