Research in the theory of condensed matter and elementary particles. (Progress report)

Technical Report · Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1985

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5758344· OSTI ID:5758344

The proposed research is concerned with problems occupying the common ground between quantum field theory and statistical mechanics. The topics under investigation include: superconformal field theory in two dimensions, its relationship to two dimensional critical phenomena and its applications in string theory; the covariant formulation of the superstring theory; formation of large-scale structures and spatial chaos in dynamical systems; fermion-boson mass relations in BCS type theories; and properties of quantum field theories defined over galois fields. 37 refs.
