Research Interests
Current research is
primarily high-temperature superconductivity theory. Recent work
includes model studies of doped Mott insulators, computation
spectroscopic quantities -- optical conductivity, magnetic
susceptibility, photoemission -- from first principles, and development
of new mathematical methods based on the fractional quantum Hall
effect. These include the use of condensed matter lattice gauge
theories, the use of quasiparticles carryin g fractional quantum
numbers, and the application of conventional Feynman rules to systems
containing both. Other interests include the theory of metals,
localization, and quantum chaos.
