  2. 1. Complexity Theory and Physics Education Research : The Case of Student Retention in Physics and Related Degree Programmes

    Author : Jonas Forsman; Cedric Linder; Ismo Koponen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics Education Research; Complexity Theory; Student Retention; Physics with specialization in Physics Education; Fysik med inriktning mot fysikens didaktik;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the use of complexity theory in Physics Education Research as a way to examine the issue of student retention (a university’s ability to retain its students). University physics education is viewed through the concepts of nestedness and networked interactions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Linear response theory : from black hole thermalization to Weyl semimetals

    Author : Jorge Laraña Aragón; Bo Sundborg; Edwin Langman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Theoretical Physics; teoretisk fysik;

    Abstract : Linear response theory is an incredibly powerful calculation tool. We apply this framework in quantum field theory to a variety of models originated from distinct areas in theoretical physics and for different reasons. READ MORE

  5. 3. String Theory at the Horizon : Quantum Aspects of Black Holes and Cosmology

    Author : Martin Olsson; Ulf Danielsson; Lárus Thorlacius; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Theoretical physics; theoretical physics; string theory; black holes; cosmology; de Sitter space; c=1 matrix models; 2D string theory; topological string theory; conifolds; 4D BPS black holes; Gödel universe; closed time-like curves; Teoretisk fysik; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : String theory is a unified framework for general relativity and quantum mechanics, thus being a theory of quantum gravity. In this thesis we discuss various aspects of quantum gravity for particular systems, having in common the existence of horizons. READ MORE

  6. 4. Aspects of the Duality between Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory and String Theory

    Author : Daniel Bundzik; Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Matematisk och allmän teoretisk fysik; classical mechanics; quantum mechanics; relativity; gravitation; statistical physics; thermodynamics; Natural science; Naturvetenskap; Physics; Fysik; Mathematical and general theoretical physics; Star product; Leigh-Strassler deformation; R-matrix; Integrability; Spin-chains; Fractional D-branes; type IIB string theory; AdS CFT-correspondence; gauge gravity correspondence; kvantmekanik; klassisk mekanik; termodynamik; statistisk fysik; relativitet;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with three topics related to the Ads/CFT correspondence. In Paper I, solutions describing the geometry of fractional D1-branes of Type IIB string theory are presented. The running coupling constant is computed on the gauge theory side. READ MORE

  7. 5. Aspects of Yang-Mills Theory : Solitons, Dualities and Spin Chains

    Author : Lisa Freyhult; Antti Niemi; Poul Damgaard; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Theoretical physics; Theoretical Physics; Field theory; String theory; Yang-Mills; Effective models; Supersymmetry; Solitons; Fermion number; Duality; AdS CFT correspondence; Bethe ansatz; Teoretisk fysik; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : One of the still big problems in the Standard Model of particle physics is the problem of confinement. Quarks or other coloured particles have never been observed in isolation. Quarks are only observed in colour neutral bound states. The strong interactions are described using a Yang-Mills theory. READ MORE
