Differential geometry and applications to modern physics
Coordinators: Mauro Spera (UCSC-Brescia), Marco Zambon (KU Leuven)
Research proposal: The present project proposes some mutually intermingled research paths, mostly focussed towards symplectic geometry and its n-plectic (equivalently, multisymplectic) generalisations, together with applications to modern physics issues, both classical and quantum mechanical, with an emphasis on topological aspects. It is expected to be carried out by a prospective Ph.D. student of the International Ph.D. Programme in Science involving Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (UCSC) di Milano (Brescia) -Italy, KU Leuven -Belgium, Notre Dame -USA, Pontificia Universidad de Chile-Chile. His-her research work will mainly take place both in Brescia and in Leuven and will be supervised by the proponents of the project.
