Research in Supergravity, General Relativity and Gauge Theories (Physics)

万有引力是任何试图统一的中心问题 大自然的力量 一种新的统一方法， 超弦理论是一个伟大的理论。 Deser教授 研究将集中在仍然神秘的关系， 时空与规范不变性和弦动力学。 在 平行，引力理论的性质，特别是在 更高的维度，宇宙常数的作用， 广义相对论与其他规范理论的关系 在经典和量子水平上都有追求。

Gravitation is the central problem in any attempt to unify the forces of nature. A new approach to unification which offers great promise is called superstring theory. Professor Deser's research will focus on the still mysterious relation between spacetime with its gauge invariance and string dynamics. In parallel, properties of gravitational theories, particularly in higher dimensions, the role of the cosmological constant and the relation of general relativity to other gauge theories will be pursued at both classical and quantum levels.
