Advances in Conformal Field Theory with Extended Symmetry

该项目旨在开发新的方法来表述具有扩展对称性的共形场论，这在从纯数学到基本粒子现象学的各种应用中都很重要。该项目期望在现代理论物理学中最具挑战性的领域——量子引力和超越粒子物理学标准模型的物理学——推进我们的知识。其预期成果将包括对现代理论和数学物理具有重大意义的概念结果，从而使澳大利亚处于这项研究的前沿。国际公认的专家将为培养澳大利亚博士生提供丰富的知识环境。

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