Ongoing Projects

  • The great theoretical progress of the seventies on the theory of strong interactions resulting in quantum chromodynamics was followed a decade of development of knowledge coming from numerical computations. It was good fortune to be at the Universitat Bielefeld where a lot of the best numerical work was going on during the eighties and ninties. It was an unusual investigation of some numerical data in a quite different way which led me to some very original problems in the study of strong interactions at high temperatures. It started with numerical computations of the gluon condensate at high temperatures, which led to many very general features of the structure of the strong nuclear interaction. Presently particular attention is paid to the mathematical form of these new discoveries, wherein progress is measured much more in the development of new ideas rather than the number of papers written.
