AboutAbout the lab
Exploring symmetry and its breaking through mathematics
The String Theory and Mathematical Structure Lab belongs to the Fundamental Theory Division of the Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe, and studies the mathematical structure of symmetry and its breaking.
Researchers from the Graduate School of Mathematics participate in the lab and pursue research on string theory, which also bears on the origin of matter and spacetime.
They also work together on research such as gauge theory dynamics.
Key terms
- String theory
- A theory this lab works on, as a subject that also bears on the origin of matter and spacetime
- Gauge theory
- A theory whose dynamics this lab studies. Its correspondence with string theory is at the center of the lab's research on mathematical structure
- Symmetry and its breaking
- A property that stays unchanged under a certain operation (symmetry), and the situation in which that property no longer holds (breaking)
ResearchResearch themes
The String Theory and Mathematical Structure Lab is a lab in the Fundamental Theory Division that pursues research on mathematical structures, centered on the gauge theory/string theory correspondence. It studies the mathematical structure of symmetry and its breaking.
