Nonequilibrium quantum field theory is a theory dealing with the dynamics of quantum many body systems such as cold atomic systems at low temperature and the quark-gluon plasma phase at extremely high temperature. I will give an introductory lecture on the nonequilibrium field theory. I will also introduce recent applications.
The doctor course students are expected to fully understand the contents at the advanced level.
The students are expected to solve the advanced problems provided by the lecturer.
nonequilibrium, symmetry, quantum anomaly

The lecture is given in a form of intense course in Japanese.
