Theories of the fundamental interactions

Active projects
Non-commutative quantum dynamics and supersymmetry
Jan Govaerts

Extensions to the supersymmetric context of the Moyal non-commutative plane are being considered from different perspectives.
Nonperturbative quantisation of gauge theories, noncommutative geometry and unification of the fundamental interactions
Jan Govaerts

Development of nonperturbative quantisation techniques of gauge theories (Yang-Mills, topological, gravity) and their application to particle physics and quantum field theory at finite temperature (in particular, within the context of superconductivity).
Exploration of the consequences of noncommutative geometry in the search for the unification of the fundamental interactions (M-theory and superstrings, quantum gravity).
