The German Research Foundation has awarded €1 million in funding to the early-career research group headed by Dr. David Reutter in the Department of Mathematics at Universität Hamburg. Reutter is researching mathematical theories that describe the behavior of fields in spaces with more than 3 dimensions.
So-called quantum field theories mathematically describe the behavior of fields in multidimensional space. This is significant, for example, at the junction of physics because the standard model of particle physics, which describes the smallest building blocks of matter and their interactions, is a quantum field theory in 4-dimensional spacetime. This is the starting point for Dr. ...
