Lectures in Symmetries and Conservation Laws

University of London (Brunel, Queen Mary, Royal Holloway and UCL)


Lecture notes

Each lecture covers nominally 2 hours - but see below for 2017 series.
The notes are made available as pdf - you should print these off before the corresponding lecture.
  1. Preamble
  2. Lecture 1: Introduction
  3. Lecture 2: Groups
  4. Lecture 3: SU(2), Clebsch Gordon coeffs
  5. Lecture 4: SU(3)
  6. Lecture 5: Hadrons States and Consequences of Group Theory
  7. Problem Class
In 2017, we will intersperse the Lectures with a chance to look over the Homework together.
To enable this, there will be 7 slots, and the 5 Lectures will be spread across the first 6 slots, with the last slot allocated to a Problem Class.
The plan for the slots is complicated!

Homework

If you have any questions or problems, do not hesitate to contact me.
