Pedro has selected 9 papers for this mini-course.

  • Infrared Photons and Gravitons by Weinberg, 1965
  • Determination of an Operator Algebra for the 2D Ising Model by Kadanoff and Ceva, 1971
  • Confinement of Quarks by Wilson, 1974,
  • Phenomenological Lagrangians by Weinberg, 1979,
  • Gravitational Effects on and of Vacuum Decay by Coleman and De Luccia, 1980
  • Classical and Quantum Gravity Effects from Planckian Energy Superstring Collisions by Amati, Ciafaloni and Veneziano, 1987
  • Quantum Spin Chains and The Haldane Gap by Affleck, 1988
  • The Large N Limit of SFTs and Supergravity by Maldacena, 1997
  • Entanglement Entropy and Quantum Field Theory by Calabrese and Cardy, 2008

The format will be: A] Pedro will give a 1h30m lecture about one of these papers on a Monday or a Friday (the Monday or Friday right after B] unless there is a holiday) B] One week later, X students give a presentation of Y minutes about important recent papers that refer/are related to that paper. At the end of this lecture we give feedback about those presentations. What is X and what is Y depends on how many students volunteer to present. Of course, people who just want to attend without presenting are also most welcome!
