Jan 14, 2019 at 20:09 comment added Azimuth Zero I've thought about that, which is why this project is third on my list of three preferences. Still, I'd like to have the backup option.
Jan 14, 2019 at 10:42 comment added knzhou Not to rain on your parade, but 95% of undergrad research projects lead to nothing because the undergrad jumps to a super advanced topic. I’ve seen this play out a hundred times. If you don’t already know quantum field theory, it’s not going to be a productive summer, for either learning or research. If you want to learn, it would be much much more efficient to read a textbook instead. If you want to see what research is like, you could try a topic with fewer prereqs.

Jan 14, 2019 at 4:24 comment added G. Smith If the investigator is encouraging students with all levels of knowledge to apply, then I would go for it. Good luck!

Jan 14, 2019 at 4:07 comment added Azimuth Zero @G.Smith I'm an undergrad. The position description stated that students of all levels of knowledge are encouraged to apply, but willingness to learn is a must; therefore I suspect that this is just some test to see if I am willing to tackle a problem with which I am unfamiliar. At least, that's what I hope.
Jan 14, 2019 at 3:56 comment added G. Smith See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N_%3D_4_supersymmetric_Yang–Mills_theory for an explanation of N. I would run away as fast as I could from this investigator if he or she is not going to spend time with you to get you up to speed.
