Funded Activity Summary
Novel Conformal Techniques in Quantum Field Theory, Gravity and Supergravity. Conformal symmetry is the maximal spacetime symmetry in relativistic quantum theory. This project will explore the dynamics of those quantum field theories and matter-coupled gravity theories that possess conformal symmetry and have recently been the focus of enormous interest worldwide. Its scientific outcomes will include a deeper understanding of Wilson loops in Yang-Mills theories, scattering amplitudes in conformal gravity and supergravity as well as other conceptual results of major importance to modern mathematical physics, thus placing Australia at the forefront of this research. A rich intellectual environment will be provided for training of Australian PhD students by internationally recognised experts.Funded Activity Details
