Does the standard model originate from the mathematics of empty space? 

We have a new paper on the arXiv, in which we link the spectral formulation of the standard model to a candidate for a fundamental theory based on the geometry of a configuration space. JESPER MØLLER GRIMSTRUP APR 07, 2025 Together with the mathematician Johannes Aastrup I have just posted a new paper on the arXiv,…Read more Does the standard model originate from the mathematics of empty space? 

The sociology of theoretical high-energy physics

Together with physicist and data analyst Jarl Sidelmann I have just posted a bibliometrical study of hep-th on the arXiv. In this post I will explain what we did and what we have found. In a new bibliometrical study we show that the levels of competition for survival in theoretical high-energy physics has increased dramatically during…Read more The sociology of theoretical high-energy physics

A new framework of unification

We have a new paper on the arXiv today in which we present a novel framework of unification in high-energy physics. In this newsletter I will give a non-technical presentation of our results Happy new year everyone! Johannes and myself have just posted a new paper on the arXiv in which we present a new framework of…Read more A new framework of unification

Newsletter 8/10 2024

Hi everyone, It’s finally time for a newsletter. Johannes and myself have just posted two new papers on the archive (you can find one here, the other one will appear in a few days. I’ll attach both of them to this newsletter). In these two papers we present a very simple and somewhat surprising result…Read more Newsletter 8/10 2024

Newsletter No. 11

13.09.2023 Hi everyone, it’s finally time for a newsletter. I spent the last two weeks in Hannover, Germany, working with Johannes, and today we posted a new paper on the archive. We have made some significant progress and in this newsletter I would like to explain in a non-technical manner what we have found.  Our…Read more Newsletter No. 11

Newsletter No. 10

05.04.2021 Hi everyone, it’s time for a newsletter. A few things have happened since my last newsletter, both concerning my work with Johannes Aastrup and concerning other things. In the following I will try to cover it all.  Also, I am going to write something about our research from a birds eye perspective: the broad…Read more Newsletter No. 10

The Metric Nature of Matter

In a recent series of papers [1-3], we have discovered a connection between non-perturbative quantum field theory and the (noncommutative) geometry of configuration spaces. In this post, which has also been published on the noncommutative geometry blog, we would like to outline our findings in a non-technical manner intended for readers, who are familiar with…Read more The Metric Nature of Matter
