Research
I am interested in physics beyond the standard model. I also study the nonperturbative dynamics
of general quantum field theories, using a variety of tools, from supersymmetry, branes, and
dualities, to lattice field theory and Monte-Carlo simulations. My most recent publications:
“Anomaly matching, (axial) Schwinger models, and high-T super Yang-Mills domain walls”
with Mohamed Anber, arxiv:1807.00093[hep-th]
“On two-flavor QCD(adj)”
with Mohamed Anber, arxiv:1805.12290[hep-th]
“New nonperturbative scales and glueballs in confining supersymmetric gauge theories”
with Mohamed Anber, arxiv:1711.00027[hep-th]
