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 ...

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 ...

Vertex operator algebras (VOAs) lie at the intersection of mathematics and theoretical physics, providing a rigorous algebraic framework for two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs). These ...

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 ...
