| additional remarks | Preliminary list of topics (subject to change): • Strong-weak coupling duality of sine-Gordon/fermion models in 2D (Coleman, 1975), non-perturbative UV fixed point; • Bethe Ansatz and integrability, • large-N expansion of Gross-Neveu in 2D, Resurgence • Supersymmetry • Thermal field theory • Higher form symmetries (generalization of Noether) • Solitons, quantum lumps, instantons vs. anomalies (maybe) • Anomalies -> Index Thm -> Instantons -> t’Hooft vertex ? • Regge and BFKL • IR factorization in QCD (understand singularities to NLO) • Gribov ambiguity • Scattering amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills • AdS/CFT • Finite T phase transitions, sphalerons • Lattice QCD and confinement |
