Mathematical Physics Research Group
The research activities of our group cover a variety of topics ranging from high energy physics to mesoscopic disordered systems and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. A prominent place in our research is occupied by Random Matrix Theory both as a tool for the study of various physical phenomena and as an object of study in its own right. The following list contains our main research activities together with the names of group members who are active in these areas. For more detailed descriptions of our research as well as other relevant information (collaborations, lists of publications, projects, etc.) please follow the links to the web pages of individual group members.
