Non-perturbative dynamics and compositeness at finite temperature

该项目将研究辛规范群规范理论的动力学。总体目标是预测理论复合态的性质，并表征作为系统温度的函数的限制相变。将考虑另一种场景，其中规范理论被孤立地看待，或者存在相对于规范群具有不同变换属性的物质场。潜在的应用主要在基础物理中，从新物理模型的短距离表征，到当代天体粒子物理学(暗物质)，再到更具投机性的早期宇宙场景(引力波背景)。

The project will study the dynamics of gauge theorieswith symplectic gauge group. The general aims are to predict the properties of the composite states of the theory, and to characterise theconfinement phase transition, as a function of the temperature of the system.Alternative scenarios will be considered, in which the gauge theory is taken in isolation,or in the presence of matter fields with different transformation properties in respect to the gauge group.Potential applications are mostly within fundamental physics, ranging from short distance characterisation of new physics models,to contemporary astroparticle phsyics (dark matter),to more speculative early-universe scenarios (gravitational wave backgrounds).
