Quantum Field Theory, Black Holes and Holography
by Chethan Krishnan
Publisher: arXiv 2010
Number of pages: 112
Description:
These notes are an expanded version of lectures given at the Croatian School on Black Holes at Trpanj, June 21-25, 2010. The aim is to provide a practical introduction to quantum field theory in curved spacetime and related black hole physics, with AdS/CFT as the loose motivation.

Quantum Field Theory
by A.N. Schellekens
All particles in the standard model correspond to some field in a quantum field theory. Our task is to understand how this works, how to describe interactions of these particles using quantum field theory, and how to compute various processes.

Lectures on Tensor Categories and Modular Functors
by Bojko Bakalov, Alexander Kirillov - American Mathematical Society
The book gives an exposition of the relations among the following three topics: monoidal tensor categories (such as a category of representations of a quantum group), 3-dimensional topological quantum field theory, and 2-dimensional modular functors.
