COLLOQUIUM Klaus Mainzer/Symmetry in Physics
Date: 15.03.2023 - 16.03.2023
1. March 15, 5:30 -6:30 GMT/ Symmetry in Physics, Klaus Mainzer
In this talk, the basic mathematical concepts of symmetry are first explained with illustrative examples up to the group-theoretical methods. On this basis, fundamental principles of physics such as the conservation laws, time, space, and charge invariance (CPT theorem), and space-time structures are introduced with symmetries. In the standard model of elementary particle physics, local gauge symmetries are used to characterise the fundamental forces in the quantum world. Symmetry breaking occurs, which is also used to explain the expansion of the universe. Molecular symmetry breaking (chirality) is at the beginning of biological evolution.
