THE SEMINAR

THEORY OF DUALITY

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN PHYSICS



On the 27th of October 2016, at 10:15 a.m.

Daniel Siemssen (KMMF WFUW)

will give a talk on

''Feynman propagators on curved spacetimes''

Abstract
In this talk I will discuss various propagators important in classical and quantum physics of the free scalar field as described by the Klein—Gordon equation. The focus of this talk will be the Feynman propagator. I will show that on static spacetimes the Feynman propagator can be rigorously defined as the limit of the resolvent of the Klein—Gordon operator from above to zero. I will also outline how these results may be extended to some more general spacetimes, thus yielding a distinguished Feynman inverse in such cases.

The seminar takes place on Thursdays from 10:15 a.m. to 12:00 in the room 2.23 of the main building of the Faculty of Physics (the 2nd floor), Pasteur Str. 5, Warszawa.
