Holidays

What did YOU got for christmas?

I treated myself some books: Mirror Symmetry, and Path Integrals and Anomalies in Curved Spacetime.

Of course I cannot follow them. Soon! I had been reading some Lie groups, mainly introduction to groups and other stuff. It is sad that I did not got to the Lie part... I also tried reading Sean Caroll's Spacetime and Geometry. With a real, fast pace I reached the third chapter on curvature. I cannot said I fully understood the previous chapter on manifolds, but I am happy to explore these ideas.

I should do some more readings before classes start. I ordered the textbook for Statistical Mechanics yesterday. Fun!
