The Master's programme in Mathematical Physics examines the intersection of mathematics and physics on the basis of: non-commutative geometry string theory quantisation theory operator algebras quantum groups critical phenomena conformal field theory integrable systems Lie theory algebraic geometry applied analysis and other topics.
