项目摘要

This project addresses current issues of interest concerning the structure of the Universe. The investigator and his students will focus on the study of matter in compact stars, as natural laboratories that provide extreme densities and strong magnetic fields. One of the important components of the project concerns the training of graduate and undergraduate students by involving them into a modern research program in theoretical nuclear physics. The students are expected to develop strong analytical and problem-solving skills that will be applied in their future careers in industry or academia. The integration of the principle investigator's research with education at the Arizona State University with a substantial enrollment of underrepresented groups of students will contribute to a high-quality education in science and engineering, as well as to the development of human resources in the region.This project will apply quantum field theoretical methods to study fundamental properties of relativistic matter in magnetic fields. The corresponding relativistic types of matter with strong magnetic fields are relevant for the phenomenology of compact stars, the evolution of the Early Universe, and the physics of relativistic heavy ion collisions. Therefore, the project will add to a deeper understanding of numerous phenomena in the natural world and will expand the knowledge about the phases of strongly interacting matter and their role in the cosmos. The theoretical methods and research outcomes of this project will also extend beyond the realm of theoretical nuclear physics. In particular, the results of these studies will be useful in the context of quasi-relativistic condensed matter materials, which hold a great promise for future applications.

这个项目解决了有关宇宙结构的当前问题。研究人员和他的学生将专注于研究致密恒星中的物质，作为提供极端密度和强磁场的天然实验室。该项目的一个重要组成部分是通过将研究生和本科生纳入理论核物理的现代研究计划来培养他们。学生应具备较强的分析和解决问题的能力，这将在他们未来在工业界或学术界的职业生涯中得到应用。亚利桑那州立大学将主要研究者的研究与教育相结合，招收大量代表性不足的学生群体，这将有助于提高科学和工程方面的高质量教育，并有助于该地区人力资源的发展。本项目将运用量子场论方法研究磁场中相对论性物质的基本性质。相应的具有强磁场的相对论性物质类型与致密恒星的现象学、早期宇宙的演化以及相对论性重离子碰撞物理学有关。因此，该项目将加深对自然界许多现象的理解，并将扩大对强相互作用物质的阶段及其在宇宙中的作用的认识。本项目的理论方法和研究成果也将超越理论核物理的范畴。特别是，这些研究结果将有助于准相对论性凝聚态材料的研究，这在未来的应用中具有很大的前景。
