Possible
Research Topics
Below is a list of possible subjects for your research project.
You can
propose your own subject as well and check with me whether it is OK. In
parentheses are the sections in
Jackson where you can read a little bit about the subjects but I expect
that you will use additional references for your research (you can
check wikipedia but do not
use it as a reference; valid references are scientific journals and
books). As soon as
people tell me that they are interested in one of the subjects I will
write their names next to it so that it is clear what subjects are
still available.
