Funding source
UKRI and/or University of SurreyFunding information
We are offering the UKRI standard stipend (currently £18,622 per year) with an additional bursary of £1,700 per year for full 3.5 years for exceptional candidates. In addition, a research, training and support grant of £3,000 over the project is also offered. Full home or overseas tuition fees (as applicable) will be covered.
About
The integrable structure of AdS_2 backgrounds has recently emerged as a new exciting laboratory where to test holographic ideas in an exactly solvable context. This project concerns studying the scattering matrix underlying the AdS_2 integrable string theory, and attacking the problem of constructing the massive dressing factor and the integrable form-factors. The project will then proceed to analyse the recently-discovered scattering matrix interpolating the AdS_2 and AdS_3 integrable systems, and to deduce the quantum group properties of the underlying algebra.
