This lecture covers the Euclidean path integral formalism, focusing on the harmonic oscillator. Topics include the path integral representation of the propagator, the spectrum of the harmonic oscillator, classical action, and thermal partition function. The lecture emphasizes the importance of the Euclidean path integral formalism in quantum field theory and statistical mechanics, highlighting its perturbation theory using Feynman diagrams.
