Our Research: A Brief Summary
String theory is a framework which brings together gravity and quantum mechanics to build a theory of quantum gravity and its basic premise is that everything is made up of tiny vibrating strings. Replacing point-like particles with these extended strings, and using as input Quantum mechanics and the Special theory of relativity, string theory naturally generates a quantum theory of gravity.
The members of our group work on various aspects of string theory and indeed quantum gravity. We are particularly interested in the Holographic Principle, which relates a theory of gravity to a theory without gravity living in a lower dimension.
