Star formation in the Perseus complex : a tale of seven clusters
(University of St Andrews, 2022-06-13) - ThesisFollowing the recent advances in astrometry of Gaia DR2, I use its photometric and kinematic data to explore the structure of the star forming region associated with the molecular cloud of Perseus. Apart from the two ... -
Dirac solitons in general relativity : many-fermion states, singular solutions & the inclusion of a Higgs mechanism
(2022-11-29) - ThesisThe study of gravitationally localised quantum states, in which quantum particles are bound together by their mutual gravitational interaction, has been a topic of considerable research for over 50 years. Stemming from ... -
Investigating strongly interacting multicritical field theories using numerical conformal bootstrap
(2022-11-29) - ThesisIn strongly correlated quantum systems, conventional techniques for understanding physical behaviour near multicritical points break down. Numerical conformal bootstrap is a promising new method that has proven demonstrably ...
