◎Research Subjects

I am investigating the structure of vacuum and the space-time by using nonperturbative or nonequilibrium methods in field theories, gravity and superstring theories.

Especially I have been studying the following issues recently.

The first is the problem of mass scales in the standard model of particle physics,i.e. the hierarchy problem and the cosmological constant problem. These problems are difficult to solve within the standard framework of field theoris and we need a new approach to attack them. I am reinvestingating the hierarchy problem based on the Wilsonian renormalization group and hidden conformal symmetries.

Another issue I am interested in is the thermodynamics of gravity and space-time. Observers who are accelerated or who are in black hole backgrounds can access only a limited region of the space-time, and thermodynamic laws hold for these observes. I am investigating microscopic structres that may be hidden behind the space-time with horizons by using quantum and nonequilibrium methods of field theories near horizons, superstring theories and matrix models.
