All four known forces in our universe are described by quantum field theory. Yet, despite their absolutely central role in Physics, quantum field theories are very far from being tamed with our current theoretical tools. A mathematically sound analytic description of physical phenomena such as confinement, chiral symmetry breaking or the existence of a mass gap is not available, and to ad…
Quantum field theories in lower dimensions usually have more elegant structures and are highly related to other branches of physics, like statistic physics, condensed matter systems, and even AMO physics. This research project explores various interesting aspects of quantum field theories in two dimensions and mainly focuses on two examples: 2d Ising field theory (IFT) and 2d Chiral Potts…
The non-perturbative bootstrap constitutes a dramatic shift in viewpoint compared to the historical developments which cemented the physics community's acceptance of quantum field theory. First, there are many non-Lagrangian theories which cannot be reached from a free fixed point. Second, the operator algebra of a theory is agnostic to any particular microscopic description and should be…
The postdoc fellow will upgrade the S-matrix bootstrap into an alternative to moretraditional textbook methods in quantum field theory by incorporating multiple particle processes in this approach.
The postdoctoral fellow will will extend the S-matrix bootstrap program to extendthe study of leading Wilson coefficients to subheading ones and other physical probes questions. (AU)
The postdoctoral fellow will develop a novel String Theory framework based oncutting closed string topologies into hexagonal patches which are the theory's defining fundamental building block. He will start by learning about hexagons and their applications in N=4 SYM, the theory where they are on solid ground. (AU)
The goal of this project is to study the correlation function of small operators in N=4 SYM. Through the celebrated AdS/CFT correspondence these small operators correspond to the lightest string states most notably to the gravitons. Needless to say, computing a graviton scattering amplitude exactly in its full quantum regime is a major open problem in Physics. The four point correlation f…
