Mgr. Pavel Stransky, PhD. (1980) presented the thesis Classical and quantum chaos in atomic nuclei defended in June 2009 at the Charles University
for the thesis Aspects of thermodynamics nad confinement in the lattice formulation of QCD in which he developed new methods for the computation within the frameworks od Quantum Chromodynamics of the properties of strongly interacting system of quarks and gluons and contributed to understanding the mechanism of confiment.
The jury also decided to give honourable mentions to two other theses: those of
entitled Beta-integers and Quasicrystals which is a mathematically rigorous, clear exposition of the topic, with motivations and original mathematical results, and represents a valuable study of applications to Schroedinger operators with aperiodic potentials as well as to diffraction on quasicrystals, and of
entitled Non-Hermitian operators in quantum physics which brings a significant development of the theory of non-hermitian representation of quantum Hamiltonians and provides an interesting step beyond the standard version of quantum mechanics.
