Research will be done on the theory of elementary particles, and related areas of cosmology and astrophysics. One focus of the work in particle theory will be the theory of strings, in which the point particles of conventional particle theories are replaced by extended objects having the form of tiny strings. The research in cosmology may include such topics as the cosmological origin of the baryon number, and that in astro- physics such topics as the study of interaction of the magnetic monopoles with neutron stars. The research will be carried out by a highly-distinguished young theoretical physicist who is one of the new Presidential Young Investigators for 1987.

研究方向为基本粒子理论以及宇宙学和天体物理学的相关领域。 粒子理论工作的焦点之一将是弦理论，其中传统粒子理论的点粒子被具有微小弦形式的扩展物体所取代。 宇宙学的研究可能包括重子数的宇宙学起源等课题，天体物理学的研究可能包括磁单极子与中子星相互作用的研究等课题。 这项研究将由一位非常杰出的年轻理论物理学家进行，他是 1987 年新任总统青年研究员之一。
