Research Interests and Projects

My research interests comprise theoretical particle physics and its ramifications, in particular quantum field theory, supersymmetry, thermal field theory, and cosmology.

My main current research activities involve

Quantum field theory at finite temperature and density

which is the theoretical tool to study quantum matter under extreme conditions. Of particular interest is the high-temperature regime of quantum chromodynamics which is supposed to describe the quark-gluon plasma that is hunted for in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions and also believed to exist in the interior of (some) neutron stars.

Quantum theory of (supersymmetric) solitons

Recently major progress in the understanding of non-perturbative aspects of (supersymmetric) field (and string) theories has been achieved by exploiting dualities in which quantized (supersymmetric) solitons play a central role. Initially it was thought that supersymmetric solitons saturating the so-called BPS bound are protected from quantum corrections, but in collaboration with Peter van Nieuwenhuizen from the State Univ. of New York at Stony Brook, we have found, and are still working out, a number of subtleties and nontrivial results.
