RUI: Nonperturbative Aspects of Yang-Mills Theories in (2+1) Dimensions

理论物理学的研究将包括量子色动力学的大效应，重点是夸克约束背后的物理学。量子色动力学是目前公认的描述强核相互作用的理论。量子色动力学中最重要的现象是夸克的约束，它构成了质子和中子，也就是所有原子核的基石。我们需要理解为什么这些夸克总是被限制在复杂的物理系统中，而从不孤立地出现。因此，拟议的研究对于理解强核力是非常重要的。

Research in theoretical physics will include work on large effects of quantum chromodynamics, with an emphasis on the physics behind the confinement of quarks. Quantum chromodynamics is the theory, well accepted by now, describing the strong nuclear interactions. A phenomenon of central importance in quantum chromodynamics is the confinement of quarks, which constitute the building blocks of protons and neutrons, i.e., of all atomic nuclei. We need to understand why these quarks are always confined within complex physical systems, and never appear in isolation. The proposed investigations are therefore very important in understanding the strong nuclear forces.
