Mathematical physics

The group in mathematical physics aims at covering a broad range of research topics at the interface between mathematics and physics. It understands mathematical physics in a broad sense, including both the mathematically rigorous treatment of physical phenomena and the mathematical developments inspired by physics ideas.

The research areas of the group include quantum field theory, including conformal and topological field theory in various dimensions, representation theory, quantum many fermion systems, quantum boson gases, transport theory, quantum integrable systems, general relativity, quantum groups, random matrices, non-commutative algebraic geometry.

They participate in the National Centre of Competence in Research external pageSwissMAP - The Mathematics of Physics of the Swiss National Science Foundation and organize the seminar Talks in Mathematical Physics together with the University of Zurich.
