Theoretical Physics: Fully Funded STFC and PhD Scholarship: Chern Simons Theory and Integrability
2 months ago
Funding providers: Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and Swansea University's Faculty of Science and Engineering
Subject areas: Theoretical physics, Mathematical Physics, Quantum Field Theory, String Theory
Project start date:
- 1 October 2024 (Enrolment open from mid-September)
Project supervisors:
- Professor Daniel C. Thompson )
- Professor Tim Hollowood
Aligned programme of study: PhD in Physics
Mode of study: Full-time or part-time
Project description:
Normally the equations that determine physical systems, be it quantum field theory describing particle physics, or string theory describing quantum gravity, are too hard to solve exactly. However there are very special systems that have deep hidden symmetries that allow one to exactly solve these equations instead of using e.g. perturbation theory. The study of these integrable systems is a critical area in the intersection of mathematical and theoretical physics and string theory. The group at Swansea led by Hollowood and Thompson has been pivotal in the recent discoveries of a landscape of integrable models known as Integrable Deformations. Very recently a new outlook on this topic has been provided by six-dimensional holomorphic Chern Simons theory which has been conjectured to provide an origin for all such integrable deformations. The goal of this project is develop a detailed quantum understanding of this approach and to apply it in a range of contexts in including to resugrence, holography and string theory.
