1. Anyons and antiferromagnets : two two-dimensional topics
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
2. Multi-Meson Dynamics in Chiral Perturbation Theory
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns scattering of light mesons in the case where the number of external particles exceeds four (that is, three or more particles in the initial or final state), calculated using chiral perturbation theory.This is both of theoretical interest in the study of scattering amplitudes, and relevant for systems of three or more pions simulated using lattice quantum chromodynamics.

3. Superconformal D-branes and moduli spaces
Sammanfattning : The on-going quest for a single theory that describes all the forces of nature has led to the discovery of string theory. This is the only known theory that successfully unifies gravity with the electroweak and strong forces. LÄS MER
4. Criticality and Frustration: Classical and Quantum Spin Models in Two Dimensions
Sammanfattning : We investigate two-dimensional spin models and begin with an introduction to critical phenomena with emphasis on classical systems with boundaries and conformal invariance. Then we introduce the antiferromagnetic quantum Heisenberg model with frustrating interactions. LÄS MER
5. Factors Shaping Process and Representation in Multiple-Cue Judgment
Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the cognitive processes and representations underlying human judgment in a multiple-cue judgment task. Several recent models as-sume that people have several qualitatively distinct and competing levels of knowledge representations (Ashby, Alfonso-Reese, Turken, & Waldron, 1998; Erickson & Kruschke, 1998; Nosofsky, Palmeri, & McKinley, 1994; Sloman, 1996).
