Although I am an undergrad in mathematics and physics, I would place myself at a graduate level. I have gone through many textbooks on my own and currently I am studying the Landau and Lifshitz series. The reading and exercises are fun, but now I want to do something with it. More specifically, I want to do research on my own. I have done internships with professors before, but the jobs were of a different nature than what I want. They worked in applied science-- I'm interested in doing theoretical/mathematical physics. The problem is, I don't know where to begin! Any topic that interests me is much too complicated and would require many more years schooling or has already been investigated by somebody else. I am also the only STEM person in my family, so I am kinda lost.
I am looking for something publishable but not too major/difficult; something I could work on 3-4 hours a day in my free time and finish (hopefully) within a year. Something I could do alone. To repeat, I am looking for something mathematical in nature. Does anyone have any advice for how I would find/create such a project for myself?
