Funded Activity Summary

Solvable models and pattern formation: quantum spin ladders, combinatorics and stromatolite morphogenesis. The aim of this project is to develop new applications of exactly solved models in statistical mechanics. These include the study of quantum spin ladders of great interest in condensed matter physics. The physical properties of new and existing models will be derived to provide valuable benchmarks and predictions for future theoretical and experimental work. We will also undertake the study and development of a set of remarkable conjectures relating the properties of a solvable model to an established area of combinatorics. Another aspect of this project involves the investigation of the origins, growth and form of ancient stromatolites.
