The proposed research project is in the area of conformal field theory - a two-dimensional quantum field theory invariant under the conformal group - which has applications in string theory, statistical models (critical point) and condensed matter physics. The main line of research is to provide a quasi-particle formulation of conformal field theories. In such a framework, the Hilbert space is described by filling the space of states by quasi-particles subject to restriction rules that generalize the Pauli exclusion principle. This method produces many novel character formulae (the generating functions for states), which are of great intrinsic mathematical interest (e.g., new generalizations of the famous Rogers-Ramanujan identities).

拟议的研究项目是共形场论领域-一种在共形群下不变的二维量子场论-它在弦理论、统计模型（临界点）和凝聚态物理学中有应用。研究的主线是提供共形场论的准粒子表述。在这样一个框架中，希尔伯特空间被描述为由准粒子填充的状态空间，这些准粒子受到推广泡利不相容原理的限制规则。这种方法产生了许多新的特征公式（状态的生成函数），这些公式具有很大的内在数学意义（例如，著名的Rogers-Ramanujan恒等式的新推广）。
