1. Exact Results in Five-Dimensional Gauge Theories : On Supersymmetry, Localization and Matrix Models
Abstract : Gauge theories are one of the corner stones of modern theoretical physics. They describe the nature of all fundamental interactions and have been applied in multiple branches of physics. The most challenging problem of gauge theories, which has not been solved yet, is their strong coupling dynamics. READ MORE

2. Zero-energy states in supersymmetric matrix models
Abstract : The work of this Ph.D. READ MORE

3. 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

4. Twisting it up the Quantum Way : On Matrix Models, q-deformations and Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
Abstract : The mathematical framework which quantum field theory constitutes has been very successful in describing nature. As an extension of such a framework, the idea of supersymmetry was introduced. This greatly simplified the mathematical description of the theories, making them more tractable. READ MORE

5. Roughening in dimer models : Random matrix statistics and surface fluctuations
Abstract : The field of mathematical statistical mechanics sits at the intersection of probability theory and mathematical physics. It consists of the rigorous analysis of models in statistical mechanics, such as dimer and lattice models - of which the Ising model is a classical example. READ MORE
