Dear friends and colleagues,
As part of our FOM program Theoretical Particle in the era of the LHC, we have occasional lecture days on Theory Meeting days. These involve advanced topics relevant to the theme of the proposal. On such a lecture day we have 1 lecture (each 2 times 45min) in the morning, and one in the later afternoon.
The second set of TPP lectures will be given by
Prof. Jan-Willem van Holten
Title: Ghosts and gauges, the mathematical machinery behind BRST quantization
Abstract: In classical and quantum dynamics there exists a fundamental connection between symmetries and constraints. The dynamical symmetries and constraints can be implemented by extending the classical phase space or the quantum state space with ghost degrees of freedom. The procedure to construct these extensions will be described and it will be shown how to recover the dynamics of the physical system.
Place: The lectures will be held in at Nikhef.
Time: 10.45 - 12.30 in H239 14.45 - 16.30 in H331 (each period with 15 min break).
Please don't forget to register, in order to help us plan, at

We look forward to see many of you here. Best regards,
