Objective
This project in the field of modern theoretical and mathematical physics is aimed at the development of higher spin gauge theories, supergravity, superstring theory and integrable systems.
Symmetry principles will be investigated which underlie modern theories of fundamental interactions. The main emphasis is on infinite-dimensional symmetries in classical and quantum theories of gravitation and superstrings.
The objective of the research project is to gain an enhanced knowledge and understanding of systems with an infinite number of fields and symmetries, which can be analyzed in terms of the geometry of appropriately extended spaces. This includes the development of new methods and concepts which have a wide range of applicability in theoretical physics, and are in particular relevant for modern superstring theory.
Research activities will concentrate on the study of higher spin symmetries, conformal symmetry, self-duality, integrability and p- and D-brane theory.
Specifically, the following topics will be investigated: interacting theories of higher-spin gauge fields; manifest conformal symmetry in supergravities and superstrings; the geometry of p- and D-branes; new actions for p-branes; infinite symmetries and supersymmetries in self-dual and integrable systems; geometric methods in classical and quantum integrable models.
