In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical ...

Field theory and the renormalization group (RG) offer a robust mathematical framework to decipher the complex phenomena emerging in disordered systems. At their core, these approaches model the ...

We develop a real space renormalization group analysis of disordered models of glasses, in particular of the spin models at the origin of the random first-order transition theory. We find three fixed ...

At long last, a unified theory combining gravity with the other fundamental forces—electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces—is within reach. Bringing gravity into the fold has been the ...

Researchers have developed a new quantum theory of gravity which describes gravity in a way that's compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics, opening the door to an improved understanding ...
