    Entropy Part II (Building an Engine)

    The narrative of this blog post has been partially inspired by the seriously awesome episode of Love, Death and Robots:

    Homogeneous Symmetric Spaces

    In this note we describe how the $n$-dimensional sphere, hyperbolic space, de Sitter, and anti-de Sitter can all be described

    Seiberg-Witten Curve with One Flavour

    In this rather large note we discuss $SU(2)$ Seiberg-Witten theory with one flavour of hypermultiplets. We begin with the UV

    $\mathcal{N}=2$ Supersymmetric Actions

    In this note we discuss $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge and matter actions in the UV build out of $\mathcal{N}=1$ actions with appropriate

    $\mathcal{N} = 1$ Supersymmetric Actions

    In this note we introduce $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge and matter actions using the superspace and superfields formalism. We discuss both renormalizable

    Superspace and Superfields

    In this note we introduce the concept of superspace as an extension of $4$-dimensional Minkowski space by an addition of

    Electromagnetic Duality

    In this note we discuss electromagnetic duality for $U(1)$ gauge theory. We give a simple definition of monopoles and discuss

    Entropy: Part I (Hidden Information)

    My housemates asked me, numerous times: But what really is entropy??? Is it chaos? Is it information? Does it grow

Entropy Part II (Building an Engine)

The narrative of this blog post has been partially inspired by the seriously awesome episode of Love, Death and Robots: “Good Hunting”. It is 1805.

Homogeneous Symmetric Spaces

In this note we describe how the $n$-dimensional sphere, hyperbolic space, de Sitter, and anti-de Sitter can all be described as a coset of particular

Seiberg-Witten Curve with One Flavour

In this rather large note we discuss $SU(2)$ Seiberg-Witten theory with one flavour of hypermultiplets. We begin with the UV $\mathcal{N}=2$ actions. A chiral field

$\mathcal{N}=2$ Supersymmetric Actions

In this note we discuss $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge and matter actions in the UV build out of $\mathcal{N}=1$ actions with appropriate coefficients between terms in the

$\mathcal{N} = 1$ Supersymmetric Actions

In this note we introduce $\mathcal{N}=1$ gauge and matter actions using the superspace and superfields formalism. We discuss both renormalizable UV actions and non-renormalizable low

Superspace and Superfields

In this note we introduce the concept of superspace as an extension of $4$-dimensional Minkowski space by an addition of $4$ Grassmann variables as coordinates.

Electromagnetic Duality

In this note we discuss electromagnetic duality for $U(1)$ gauge theory. We give a simple definition of monopoles and discuss S- and T-duality. Take me

Entropy: Part I (Hidden Information)

My housemates asked me, numerous times: But what really is entropy??? Is it chaos? Is it information? Does it grow infinitely? Can one reverse it
