This is just usual tensor notation, nothing hard or complex here...

search this forum for "Tensors without tears" https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=240285&highlight=tensors

search this forum for Quantum Field Theory: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=227115&highlight=quantum+field http://www.physics.ucsb.edu/~mark/qft.html (Try before you buy! Click here to download a pdf file of a prepublication draft of the text)

search this forum for General Relativity: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=101428&highlight=tensors Without a pretty strong background in General Relativity and Quantum field theory, it's going to be REALLY difficult for you to understand these class notes though =/

have fun good luck

BTW thanks for the link, looks like a good course given by one of the masters of QFT ^^
