Programs Phd in Theoretical Physics in Europe

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a student with a Master’s in theoretical physics seeking a PhD opportunity in Europe, specifically in groups focused on quantum field theory (QFT) and general relativity, while avoiding string theory and related frameworks. Key interests include the mass problem in particle physics without the Higgs mechanism, renormalization group techniques, quantum effects in gravitation, and cosmological topics like dark energy and inflation. The student expresses a preference for groups that align with these interests, mentioning a positive view of Shaposhnikov's group in Lausanne as a potential fit. The conversation highlights the importance of finding research groups that focus on specific theoretical aspects of physics rather than broader or alternative frameworks.

Hello, I am a student with a M.Sc. in theoretical physics in search of a PHD. I would like to know which groups in Europe have some relevance in the context of QFT, in particular the problem of the mass in particle physics (no Higgs mechanism), Renormalization Group,.. and General Relativity in particular quantum effects in gravitation, physics of the early universe, Dark Energy, inflation...I' don't like to work in the framework of strings , supersymmetry, Kaluza-Klein, quintessence. To be clear my thesis focused on the conformal transformations in General Relativity and QFT in 4D. thanks

ps: For example i like Shaposhnikov's Group (Lousanne)...is a good group?

Thread 'What major topics are there in arithmetic and what order to learn them?'

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...

Thread 'Help with my plan to get into research about bound states'

Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...

Thread 'What is computational physics and what is the best way or method to learn computational physics?'

guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
