Conformal Field Theories with Higher Spin Symmetry and Duality Invariance

这个项目旨在开发新的方法来研究具有较高自旋对称性和对偶不变的共形场论，这些理论在从宇宙学到基本粒子唯象的各种应用中都是重要的。该项目希望推进我们在现代理论物理中最具挑战性的领域之一-量子引力和超越粒子物理标准模型的物理学-的知识。它的预期结果将是对现代理论和数学物理具有重大意义的新的概念性结果，从而使澳大利亚处于这项研究的前沿。好处将包括由国际公认的专家培训澳大利亚博士生的丰富智力环境。

This project aims to develop novel methods to study conformal field theories with higher spin symmetry and duality invarianvce that are important in variety of applications ranging from cosmology to phenomenology of elementary particles. The project expects to advance our knowledge in one of the most challenging areas of modern theoretical physics - Quantum Gravity and physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Its expected outcomes will be new conceptual results of major significance for modern theoretical and mathematical physics, thus placing Australia at the forefront of this research. Benefits will include a rich intellectual environment for training Australian PhD students by internationally recognised experts.
