Solitons and Related Objects in Quantum Field Theories and String Theories
Nonperturbative objects have played important role in our understanding of quantum fifield theory and string theory. In this lecture we survey these objects and study their role in these theories. Some of these objects are BPS objects in supersymmetric fifield theories, like, vortices, monopoles, instantons, branes in string/M theory, and other times like Q-balls and bubble nucleation.

Keywords: Non-perturbative objects, Solitons, BPS, supersymmetry

讲师介绍
I am a theoretical physicist working on quantum field theory and string theory. I have been educated in South Korea and United States. I worked as postdoctoral fellow and faculty member in US and also in South Korea. Recently I joined BIMSA in quantum field theory and string theory group. My research interests are also on cosmology, black holes, particle phenomenology, geometry, representation theory, vertex operator algebras, categorical symmetries, and number theory.
