Welcome to the Division of Theoretical Physics

The Division of Theoretical Physics is part of the Department of Physics and Astronomy.

The research in theoretical physics spans a large spectrum of physical problems, from the origin of the universe, where both the forces and matter are represented by oscillating strings, via proteins that fold and form knots, to the structure of the particles colliding in our accelerators.

Brane backreaction, fluxes and meta-stable vacua in string theory, May 2-4, 2012

We are happy to announce the workshop on Brane backreaction, fluxes and meta-stable vacua in string theory, taking place in Uppsala from May 2nd to May 4th, 2012.

Next Uppsala geometry and physics seminar, March 26, 2012

The borderline between theoretical physics and mathematics has seen a remarkable progress over the last 20 years, with gauge theory, string theory, 4-manifold topology, Floer homology theories, etc. The seminar aims at increasing the interaction between the two diciplines.
