 FEZA GÜRSEY MEMORIAL LECTURES by Prof. Dr. K.L. Chang
National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan. May 2 - 9, 2011

TÜBİTAK - FEZA GÜRSEY INSTITUTE

*Programme:*

   - 1st Lecture 02.05.2011 Monday 14.30
   *Magnetic Monopole, Topological Soliton, Weak Mixing Angle and All That*

   Maxwell theory with and without magnetic charge is surveyed. The
   Yang-Mills non-Abelian gauge fields coupled to Higg’s fields are taken as an
   ansatz to the quantization of the magnetic monopole which exhibits the
   nature of topological charge. An extension to model of SU(2)XU(1) leads to
   the result that sin²θ= 1/4 .
   - 2nd lecture 03.05.2011 Tuesday 14.30
   *Quantum Mechanics versus Classical Mechanics*

   Postulates of quantum mechanics are formulated in the framework of
   Hilbert space. The q- and p-representation are introduced to construct the
   propagator. Classical dynamics is regained in the limit h/2π→0 in quantum
   theory by path integration in propagator.
   - 3rd lecture 04.05.2011 Wednesday 14.30
   *On Compatibility and Non-compatibility of Quantum Observables*

   Necessary and sufficient conditions are discussed in terms of
   simultaneous diagonization of compatible quantum observables. Intrinsic and
   extrinsic compatibility are introduced. Uncertainty relations are shown to
   originated from observables of non-compatibility.
   - 4th lecture 05.05.2011 Thursday 14.30
   *Lorentz Symmetry, Weyl Spinors, Chirality and Dirac Equation*

   Space-time structure is analyzed by means of Lorentz symmetry property.
   Irreducible representations of the Lorentz group are discussed. Chirality is
   introduced to relate (l, 0 )-representation and ( 0, r )-representation.
   Lorentz tranfomation of the spinor and the co-spinor are studied. Dirac
   equation is formulated from Lorentz symmetry, and the invariance of gamma
   matrices with respect to different Lorentz frames is demonstrated.
   - 5th lecture 09.05.2011 Monday 14.30
   *Lorentz Symmetry, Weyl Spinors, Chirality and Dirac Equation (Cont.)*
