Theory Group
The Theory Group's efforts can be divided into two major categories: particle theory and formal theory. Theoretical particle physics research is concerned with the standard model and possible deviations from, and extensions to, it. The group has worked on electroweak symmetry breaking, supersymmetry, grand unification, perturbative QCD, cosmology, and methods to test the standard model in current and future experiments. The formal theory group works on string theory, quantum gravity, conformal field theory, quantum groups, topological field theory and the foundations of quantum mechanics.
