Topics covered: Superfluidity in weakly interacting Bose gas, the random phase approximation to the Coulomb interaction in the Jellium model, superconductivity within the random phase approximation, the renormalization group analysis of non-linear-sigma mo ...
Biological macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins and cytoskeletal filaments are polymers. As such, they share a set of properties that are common to any polymer, which are the focus of this course. Details about the protein folding problem will be cove ...
The course will focus on a probabilistic construction of a conformal field theory related to random Riemann surfaces, called the Liouville conformal field theory. The symmetries of the theory allow to express the n-point correlation functions in terms of 3 ...
The goal of this class is to teach how to look at two-dimensional field theories, how to analyse them, how to put structures on them. In the end, the student should have a good picture into what we understand for what is happening at the intersection of Qu ...
