Welcome to my site

I started building this site for two reasons. First of all because I like trying something new and it had been years since I last toyed around with building a website, and secondly because I wanted a place where I could share my academic interests with the rest of the world. I am well aware that I will probably not reach a lot of people, but even if nobody reads my blogs, it still makes for a nice place to write up stuff for myself and see which parts I do not fully understand.

I'm using MathJax to typeset all equations so as to obtain a nice LateX feel. As a test, the Dirac action should be nicely rendered here: $$S_\text{Dirac}[\psi] := \int_M\overline{\psi}(i/\!\!\!\partial-m)\psi\,\mathrm{Vol}_M.$$ However, not all operators or packages are implemented in MathJax, so it is possible that certain formulas do not look as clean as they would when using ordinary $\LaTeX$.
