Supersymmetric Gauge Theory
(Fall 2023 - Spring 2024)

Organizers: Prof. Michael McBREEN, Omega Tong and Anson Law.

Description: The goal of this seminar is to learn something about 'supersymmetric gauge theory'. The sketch of topics are classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, special relativity, quantum field theory, supersymmetry (SUSY), and SUSY quantum field theory.

Time and location: Monday 3:30–4:30 pm HKT, LSB 219.

Schedule for 2024 Spring

Note: Non-standard seminar dates or locations are marked with ※.

Archived: Schedule for 2023 Fall

Time and location: Monday 1:00–2:00 pm HKT, LSB 222.
