At present I am mostly interested in String Field Theory. This is an offshell formulation of string theory that has proven useful so far to describe tachyon condensation on unstable D-brane systems. I am working on exact analytic classical solutions but in the near future I wish to study some more challenging topics such as quantum effects in string field theory and/or explore possible applications to more physical questions.
In the past I have been also interested in stable domain walls with fake-supersymmetry, non-commutative geometry and field theory and various aspects of anomalies.
Lectures on string theory are on Tuesday's at 11:30-13:00 in room 945 (MFF UK, Troja). The first lecture will take place on Friday October 31, 2008 10:40-12:10 somewhere on the 8th or 9th floor. For information on other string theory activities please see our calendar. Here is my recent talk 40 years of string theory (in Czech, uses Tex4PPT).
On 27th of September 2007 I have received the 2007 European Young Investigator Award from EUROHORC's and ESF. The award is a five year grant that will help me create an independent string theory group at Institute of Physics at the Czech Academy of Sciences starting in Fall 2008. For a project description and more information see the official release. That said, there will be two postdoctoral positions starting in the Fall of 2008, and perhaps I can take one or two graduate students as well.
