      A recent theorem of Foscolo-Haskins-Nordström [1] which constructs complete G2-holonomy orbifolds from circle bundles over Calabi-Yau cones can be utilised to construct and investigate a large class of generalisations of ...
    • A new variational discretization technique for initial value problems bypassing governing equations 

      Rothkopf, Alexander Karl; Nordström, Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-03)
      Motivated by the fact that both the classical and quantum description of nature rest on causality and a variational principle, we develop a novel and highly versatile discretization prescription for classical initial value ...

    • Non-equilibrium quantum field dynamics in the early Universe 

      Eriksson, Magdalena (PhD thesis UiS;, Doctoral thesis, 2023)
