11. Field Theories with a Twist
Abstract : This thesis deals with topological field theories derived from maximally supersymmetric gauge theories. The main part of this work is the three appended research papers, each of which investigates some different aspect of these theories. READ MORE

12. From Branes to Brains : On M-theory and Understanding Thermodynamics
Abstract : This thesis is concerned with research in both physics and physics education, and is divided into two parts.Part IString theory has been the leading candidate over the past few years for a theory that unifies all the fundamental forces of nature. READ MORE

13. LOST IN LOCALISATION searching for exact results in supersymmetric gauge theories
Abstract : This thesis deals with one of the very basics of theoretical physics: computing observable quantities. In the language commonly used to describe the subatomic world, gauge theories, this problem is far from trivial as the observables are expressed in terms of infinite-dimensional integrals. READ MORE

14. Supersymmetric Gauge Theories and Matrix Models
Abstract : We discuss recent developments in supersymmetric field theory due to the conjecture of Dijkgraaf and Vafa relating the effective superpotential of such theories to the computation of an associated matrix model. We give a short survey of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories and state the conjecture. READ MORE

15. Exact Results in Supersymmetric Field Theories : A dissertation on the defect and deformed
Abstract : Quantum field theories (QFTs) are the most precise descriptions of the physical reality that humanity has found. Yet exact predictions are often missing as most computations are notoriously difficult to carry out. One generally resorts to perturbation theory which immediately limits the regime of validity.
