Learning outcomes

The course presents non perturbative approaches to the study of quantum field theories (QFT) in the context of fundamental interactions, statistical physics and condensed matter theory.
The course is divided in three parts, each of them corresponding to 3 CFU, which are related to each other by various common aspects, but are anyway self-consistent by themselves. The first part is dedicated to Renormalization Group Theory and the Large N Expansion; the second part deals with the Lattice formulation of Quantum Field Theories; the third part focusses on anomalies in QFT and Conformal Field Theories.
The student will choose two out of these three parts.
