A new framework introduces so-called polarization pairs as a datum necessary to have well-defined quantum field theories that involve self-dual gauge fields, in arbitrary even dimensions. This framework is a useful tool to reveal new types of symmetries in these theories – in particular those that go beyond traditional...

This year's Physics Project Days takes place from September 10 to 13 at Science City Hamburg-Bahrenfeld. The four-day event is aimed specifically at female students from Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein, and Lower Saxony. Around 50 students work in small groups on 15 different experiments and research projects supervised by...
