Lattice Gauge Theory: Active Physics Research or Passe?

AI Thread Summary
Lattice Gauge Theories, particularly in the context of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), remain a vibrant area of active research in physics. Many graduate students are currently pursuing PhDs in this field, indicating ongoing interest and development. The presence of numerous active professors involved in lattice QCD research further supports the vitality of this area. The provided list of researchers highlights the community's engagement and the potential for future contributions to the field. Overall, lattice gauge theories continue to be a significant topic within contemporary physics research, making it a viable option for graduate studies.

Are Lattice Gauge Theories still considered an area of active physics research? (i.e., are people still producing PhDs in this subject?) Or has this research area become passe?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I am applying to grad schools year and very interested in this field. I found this big list of people involved in lattice QCD stuff in the US: http://www.physics.ucsb.edu/~sugar/usqcd_members.pdf

This includes a bunch of graduate students as well as professors, but I know that a bunch of the professors are indeed active in the field.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
