Speaker: Dan Freed
This is the beginning of our study of Sourav Chatterjee’s Gauge Theory Lecture Notes, a book-in-progress. This lecture follows Chapter 1, which covers the path integral quantization of a single particle. We begin in real time with the free particle and then move on to the Wick rotated version with a potential. The idea is to introduce probabilistic methods in this construction.
