U.S.-Mexico Cooperative Research: Quantum and Fluctuating Geometries

这项美国-墨西哥奖将支持a . P. Balachandran教授、Rafael D. Sorkin教授和Allen B. Stern教授与墨西哥国立理工学院（CINVESTAV）研究中心的Denjoe O'Connor教授领导的一组墨西哥科学家进行研究合作。研究人员打算在体现“非交换几何”的新几何空间上研究“点阵”场论，因为它们被赋予了足够的结构，可能对量子场论的发展，对广义相对论、宇宙学和叶片洞物理的研究有很强的适用性。几何学的思想深刻地影响了经典物理学和量子物理学的发展，近年来在从量子场论和强理论到统计力学等物理学的不利分支的发展中发挥了越来越重要的作用，甚至在生物科学中也出现了有趣的应用。这种支持将使两国杰出的研究人员在当前理论物理学的一个非常感兴趣的领域工作

Balachandran9908763This U.S.-Mexico award will support Professor A. P. Balachandran, Rafael D. Sorkin, and Allen B. Stern in a research collaboration with a group of Mexican scientists under the leadership of Denjoe O'Connor of the Centro de Investigacion y de Estudios Avanzados del Instituto Politecnio Nacional (CINVESTAV) in Mexico City. The researchers intend to study "lattice" field theories on new geometrical spaces embodying "non-commutative geometry" that because they are endowed with sufficient structure, may have strong applicability to the development of quantum field theories, to the study of General Relativity, Cosmology, and Blade Hole physics.Ideas from geometry have profoundly influenced the development of both classical and quantum physics and have in recent years played an increasingly important role in the development of adverse branches of physics from quantum field theory and strong theory to statistical mechanics, with even intriguing applications emerging in the biological science. This support will bring distinguished researchers in both countries to work in a area of much current interest in theoretical physics.***
