Schreiber scratch paper

Think of the space below as unlimited electronic scratch paper. Hit “edit” below, to make notes.

Preliminary plan for:

Seminar Geometry of Physics

Lecture 1

(Chapter 0. in CCC).

Lecture 4

Maxwell equations

Question: Lecture 5

Question: do we need more time and should we put Lecture 5:

Lecture 9:

Question: Do we need Lie derivatives, Ch 4.? What do we need from chapters 7 and 8?

Question: Lecture 11

examples: harmonic oscillator, hydrogen atom?, Heisenberg formalism ?

Question: Lecture 12

special relativity/general relativity (Ch 11.) ?

Question: Lecture 13

(I guess this cannot and should not be omitted)

Lecture 15:

• topological quantization (Ch. 17. in Frankel)

By this time we understand how to get from Maxwell's equations to gauge theories

Remarks

Seminar will be held in Croatian, lecture notes hopefully in English. Once a week, 90 minutes.
