Overview

This is a set of lecture notes given by the author at the Universities of Göttingen and Wroclaw. The text presents the axiomatic approach to field theory and studies in depth the concepts of symmetry and supersymmetry and their associated generators, currents and charges. It is intended as a one-semester course for graduate students in the field of mathematical physics and high energy physics.Contents: IntroductionExample of a Classical and Quantum Scalar Free Field TheoryScene and Subject of the Drama.
