Effective field theories have applications in many areas of physics, ranging from condensed matter and statistical systems over low energy QCD to beyond standard model (BSM) theories with and without gravity. They allow the description of many interesting strongly correlated physics phenomena such as spontaneous symmetry breaking, superconductivity and superfluidity on the basis of classical or close-classical actions.
In this lecture course I provide a hands-on introduction to effective field theories and their applications ranging from ultracold atoms over QCD to BSM physics. The lecture course should be accessible for experimental and theoretical PhD students, and only requires a basic understanding of actions and equations of motion.
