Quantum Field Theory for Cosmology
This course begins with a thorough introduction to quantum field theory. Unlike the usual quantum field theory courses which aim at applications to particle physics, this course then focuses on those quantum field theoretic techniques that are important in the presence of gravity. In particular, this course introduces the properties of quantum fluctuations of fields and how they are affected by curvature and by gravitational horizons. We will cover the highly successful inflationary explanation of the fluctuation spectrum of the cosmic microwave background - and therefore the modern understanding of the quantum origin of all inhomogeneities in the universe (see these amazing visualizations from the data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. They display the inhomogeneous distribution of galaxies several billion light years into the universe. Organizer: Achim Kempf -
Foundations and Interpretation of Quantum Theory
After a review of the axiomatic formulation of quantum theory, the generalized operational structure of the theory will be introduced (including POVM measurements, sequential measurements, and CP maps). There will be an introduction to the orthodox (sometimes called Copenhagen) interpretation of quantum mechanics and the historical problems/issues/debates regarding that interpretation, in particular, the measurement problem and the EPR paradox, and a discussion of contemporary views on these topics. The majority of the course lectures will consist of guest lectures from international experts covering the various approaches to the interpretation of quantum theory (in particular, many-worlds, de Broglie-Bohm, consistent/decoherent histories, and statistical/epistemic interpretations, as time permits) and fundamental properties and tests of quantum theory (such as entanglement and experimental tests of Bell inequalities, contextuality, macroscopic quantum phenomena, and the problem of quantum gravity, as time permits). Organizers: Raymond Laflamme and Joseph Emerson -

General Relativity for Cosmology
This course begins by introducing the differential geometry of Lorentzian manifolds from scratch and then builds up quickly to the advanced framework in terms of differential forms and the vielbein formalism. These methods are then used to define general relativity, also as a gauge theory. We then study some of general relativity's deeper properties, such as the formalism of spinors, and aspects of the causal structure and singularities. One key goal is to lay the foundations for students who wish to proceed to studies in quantum gravity. We then apply general relativity to cosmological models and to cosmological perturbation theory. Thereby, we are covering the theory of cosmic inflation which is very successful in predicting, in particular, the properties cosmic microwave background radiation.
