About

The Mathematics Physics research program spans the ANU College of Science, with several members having joint appointments with the Department of Theoretical Physics in RSPE. The program is active in studying fundamental problems across a broad spectrum of Mathematical Physics, such as:

  • String Theory
  • Conformal Field Theory
  • Integrable Models in Statistical Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory
  • Condensed Matter Theory

using and developing techniques from:

  • Algebra (including Algebraic Topology and Algebraic Geometry)
  • Representation Theory
  • Differential Geometry

Projects

Non-commutative geometry and its application to physics.
