PhD projects

1/ Analysis of generalised TTbar deformations of 2-dimensional integrable quantum field theories. Specifically, computation of correlation functions using the form factor bootstrap approach.

2/ Development of irrelevant deformations of TTbar type for field theories (both classical and quantum) in space-times of dimension higher than 2.

3/ Study of the interplay of Integrability and Generalised/Non-Invertible Symmetries in 2D Quantum Field Theory. Extensions to higher space-time dimensions.

4/ Application of methods for the exact computation of expectation values in the non-relativistic limit of the sine-Gordon model, with potential applications to cold atom physics.

Biography

I was an undergraduate student of physics, with a specialisation in its theoretical and mathematical aspects, at the University of Torino (IT). There, after a visit to the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris, FR) under a joint-supervision project, I also obtained a Ph.D. in Physics and Astrophysics. Subsequently I held several post-doctoral positions at the University of Durham (UK), École Normale Supérieure de Paris (FR), Stony Brook and New York Universities (US). Since January 2024 I am a Lecturer at the University of York.
