What Is A Photon? Foundations Of Quantum Field Theory, Charles G. Torre
What Is A Photon? Foundations Of Quantum Field Theory, Charles G. Torre
All Physics Faculty Publications
This is a brief, informal, and relatively low-level course on the foundations of quantum field theory. The prerequisites are undergraduate courses in quantum mechanics and electromagnetism.

We find the field equations of biconformal space in a basis adapted to Lagrangian submanifolds on which the restriction of the Killing metric is non-degenerate.

We show that the solutions for the symmetric part of the connection in homogeneous biconformal space also satisfy the more general field equations of curved biconformal spaces in the case when \gamma_{-} = 0.

We study whether the solutions for the symmetric part of the connection in homogeneous biconformal space also satisfy the more general field equation of curved biconformal spaces. We show that the six field equations for the torsion and co-torsion are satisfied by vanishing torsion together with the Lorentzian form of the metric when γ+ = 0.
Gauge Transformations Of The Biconformal Connection, James Thomas Wheeler

We study the changes of the biconformal gauge fields under the local rotational and dilatational gauge transformations.
