This post contains a summary of my lecture notes for the second half of last Wednesday’s QFT-I lecture. [Click here for a PDF with the full notes for this portion of the lecture.]

DISCLAIMER: Very rough notes from class, with some additional side notes.

These are notes for the UofT course PHY2403H, Quantum Field Theory, taught by Prof. Erich Poppitz, fall 2018.

Summary:

We found that the Dirac…
