Conformal Field Theory (CFT)

Start date: Aug 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2013,

The research will be on CFT and address two issues: constraints on correlation functions and operator spectra via respectively conformal partial wave analysis and superconformal indices. This will be achieved using techniques largely developed in the applicant's and coordinator's past work on these fields. This work is important for a deeper understanding of dualities in physics.

String theory

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

Recently a new class of three dimensional N=8 and N=6 superconformal theory has been discovered. These theories are defined by a classical action and have a (discrete) parameter k that can serve as a coupling constant. Taking k large (coupling small) one can use perturbation Feynman diagram techniques. The theory for k=1 is particularly interesting as it is conjectured to be the N=8 theory living ...
