Mathematical Physics and Field Theory
Concentration Area: Mathematical Physics and Field Theory
Line of Research: General Theory of Particles and Fields
Description: Study of integrable models, topological defects, solitons, gauge theories, confinement, renormalization, effective models, phenomenology of particles and fundamental interactions, perturbative and non-perturbative methods in theories of fields and applications, quark matter under extreme conditions and phase transitions in field theories.
Integrable Models – General study of integrable models, particularly in field theory: supersymmetric integrable models, Hamiltonian structure, models without dispersive term, integrability tests.
Field Theory – Study of the general properties of field theories: integrability of two-dimensional models, perturbative techniques, development and application of non-perturbative analytical methods to effective models at finite temperature and/or densities.
