Quantum Gravity and Mathematical Physics Group
Research efforts are focused on understanding of the structure and properties of spacetime at very small distances and on exploration of the symmetries of spacetime as seen by fields and strings. The research methods include standard field theory methods, group theory, deformation quantization and modern methods of differential geometry, such as geometry of algebroids and noncommutative/nonassociative geometry. Although motivated by the search for a quantum theory of gravity, both results and methods of research are used in other areas of theoretical physics.
