Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Quantum field theory
  • Electron

His main research concerns Dark energy, Mathematical physics, Particle physics, Quintessence and Astrophysics. His Mathematical physics research incorporates elements of Critical exponent, Critical phenomena and Scalar. Christof Wetterich combines subjects such as Theoretical physics, Cosmological constant, Equation of state and Dark matter with his study of Quintessence.

The concepts of his Effective action study are interwoven with issues in Renormalization group, Functional renormalization group, Action and Yang–Mills theory. His Renormalization group study is concerned with the field of Quantum mechanics as a whole. The various areas that he examines in his Functional renormalization group study include Statistical physics, Exact solutions in general relativity and Quantum field theory.

His most cited work include:

  • COSMOLOGY AND THE FATE OF DILATATION SYMMETRY (2217 citations)
  • Exact evolution equation for the effective potential (1439 citations)
  • Proton Lifetime and Fermion Masses in an SO(10) Model (1001 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Christof Wetterich mainly focuses on Particle physics, Quantum mechanics, Mathematical physics, Theoretical physics and Dark energy. His research integrates issues of Gravitation, Quantum electrodynamics and Scalar in his study of Mathematical physics. While the research belongs to areas of Theoretical physics, he spends his time largely on the problem of Classical mechanics, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Time evolution.

In his work, Cosmological constant problem is strongly intertwined with Cosmological constant, which is a subfield of Quintessence. Functional renormalization group is a subfield of Renormalization group that Christof Wetterich investigates. His Renormalization group research includes themes of Statistical physics, Critical exponent and Quantum field theory.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Particle physics (30.18%)
  • Quantum mechanics (23.27%)
  • Mathematical physics (21.20%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Theoretical physics (16.82%)
  • Quantum mechanics (23.27%)
  • Mathematical physics (21.20%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Christof Wetterich focuses on Theoretical physics, Quantum mechanics, Mathematical physics, Quantum gravity and Dark energy. His study in Theoretical physics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Scalar field, Universe, Gauge symmetry and Massless particle. His biological study deals with issues like Observable, which deal with fields such as Primordial fluctuations.

He interconnects Gravitation, Planck mass, Scalar potential and Symmetry in the investigation of issues within Quantum gravity. Christof Wetterich has researched Dark energy in several fields, including Neutrino and Particle physics. His Functional renormalization group study combines Renormalization group and Renormalization studies.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Variable gravity Universe (73 citations)
  • Emergent scale symmetry: Connecting inflation and dark energy (71 citations)
  • Dilaton quantum gravity (63 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Quantum field theory
  • Electron

His main research concerns Quantum gravity, Theoretical physics, Dark energy, Astrophysics and Inflation. His Quantum gravity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Higgs boson and Gravitation, Cosmological constant, Classical mechanics. The Theoretical physics study combines topics in areas such as Lambda-CDM model, Scalar, Observable, Euclidean distance matrix and Euclidean field.

His Dark energy study improves the overall literature in Cosmology. His Inflation study combines topics in areas such as Universe and Big Bang. His research investigates the link between Asymptotic safety in quantum gravity and topics such as Mathematical physics that cross with problems in Semiclassical gravity.
