What are some interesting BS-MS project topics in QFT for a 1 year duration?

AI Thread Summary
Interesting project topics in Quantum Field Theory (QFT) for a one-year BS-MS project include exploring the foundations of QFT, studying specific models like the Standard Model, or investigating quantum anomalies. A strong background in quantum mechanics is essential, as understanding QFT can take several months. Recommended resources for deeper comprehension include textbooks by Weinberg, Ryder, and Peskin. Engaging with these materials can help in formulating a focused project. Selecting a topic that aligns with both interest and academic preparation is crucial for success.

Do you have good postgraduate backgound in quantum mechanics? Probably you will spend several months only to understand what QFT is about.
 
I had quantum mechanics as well as QFT as academic courses;
I follow Weinberg,Ryder and Peskin for QFT
 

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
