Conformal symmetry is the maximal spacetime symmetry in relativistic quantum theory. This project will explore the dynamics of those quantum field theories and matter-coupled gravity theories that possess conformal symmetry and have recently been the focus of enormous interest worldwide. Its scientific outcomes will include a deeper understanding of Wilson loops in Yang-Mills theories, scattering amplitudes in conformal gravity and supergravity as well as other conceptual results of major importance to modern mathematical physics, thus placing Australia at the forefront of this research. A rich intellectual environment will be provided for training of Australian PhD students by internationally recognised experts.

共形对称是相对论量子理论中的最大时空对称。该项目将探索具有共形对称性并最近成为全世界巨大兴趣焦点的量子场论和物质耦合引力理论的动力学。其科学成果将包括对杨-米尔斯理论中的威尔逊环、共形引力和超引力的散射振幅以及对现代数学物理具有重要意义的其他概念结果的更深入理解，从而使澳大利亚处于这项研究的前沿。将为国际知名专家培养澳大利亚博士生提供丰富的智力环境。
