  2. 1. Degenerate Geometries, Supersymmetry and Duality

    Author : Henrik Gustafsson; Marcus Grisary; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; fysik;

    Abstract : String theory is a theory attempting to unify gravity with the electro-weak and strong interactions so successfully described by Quantum Field Theory. The implications of String Theory is not fully understood since it is still not a complete theory. READ MORE

  4. 2. Quantum optics in constrained geometries

    Author : Björn Hessmo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantum chemistry; quantum optics; atom optics; complementarity; magnetic traps; laser cooling; quantum information; quantal phases; Kvantkemi; Quantum chemistry; Kvantkemi; Quantum Chemistry; kvantkemi;

    Abstract : When light exhibits particle properties, and when matter exhibits wave properties quantum mechanics is needed to describe physical phenomena. A two-photon source produces nonmaximally entangled photon pairs when the source is small enough to diffract light. It is shown that diffraction degrades the entanglement. READ MORE

  5. 3. Lagrangian Particles in Turbulence and Complex Geometries

    Author : Azad Noorani; Philipp Schlatter; Johan Revstedt; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Direct numerical simulation; wall turbulence; secondary motion; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

    Abstract : Wall-dominated turbulent dispersed multiphase flows occur in a variety of industrial, biological and environmental applications. The complex nature of the  arrier and the dispersed phase is elevated to a higher level introducing geometrical complexities such as curved walls. READ MORE

  6. 4. Supersymmetric Geometries in Type IIA Supergravity

    Author : Christian von Schultz; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Supersymmetry; Spinorial Geometry; Classification; IIA Supergravity;

    Abstract : This thesis is about supersymmetric geometries in type IIA supergravity and their classification using spinorial geometry. Appended is our first paper on the topic. There are four types of Killing spinors to treat, distinguished by their isotropy group. The appended paper treats the cases where the isotropy group is Spin(7) or Spin(7) ⋉ ℝ⁸. READ MORE

  7. 5. Information geometries in black hole physics

    Author : Narit Pidokrajt; Ingemar Bengtsson; Jorma Louko; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; black holes; thermodynamics; instability; hessian; entropy; ruppeiner geometry; weinhold geometry; information geometry; Theory of relativity; gravitation; Relativitetsteori; gravitation; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

    Abstract : In this thesis we aim to develop new perspectives on the statistical mechanics of black holes using an information geometric approach (Ruppeiner and Weinhold geometry). The Ruppeiner metric is defined as a Hessian matrix on a Gibbs surface, and provides a geometric description of thermodynamic systems in equilibrium. READ MORE
