Some combinatorics from Quantum Field Theory
The first part of the talk will consist of an introduction to some basic aspects of Quantum Field Theory, especially perturbative QFT. Then some combinatorial features of QFT will be addressed, including: (i) symmetries and symmetry factors of Feynman diagrams, and their automatic generation, (ii) combinatorial laws for Green functions.
