Oh yeah! I had forgotten that the derivative changes in curved spacetime. Thanks. Anyone got an answer for the second one?

My first question: QED has U(1) symmetry. The transformation is a function of x (psi -> psi*theta(x)). How does this depend on the spacetime? Do interactions therefore differ between curved space and flat space? Is this what leads on to QFT on curved spacetime research? My second question...

Hi, I am currently studying for a one year postgrad MSc in Theoretical Physics. In my undergraduate physics degree, my dissertation was on general relativity, so I got a taste of differential geometry and manifolds which I really enjoyed. At the moment I'm currently attending lectures...

Yeah, It's the Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces Course I'll be applying to as well (this week in fact). The course at durham seems to offer a brooader range of classes than the imperial course. Alot of them concerned with different types or aspects of filed theory. That might interest...

I'm currently applying for 1 year postgraduate courses in Theoretical Physics at the following universities in the UK: Durham - Physics Department Imperial College London - Physics Department Kings College London - Maths Department The aim is to hopefully go on to a PhD after one...
