Issues in Gauge Theories

小行星9411002 将进行基本粒子物理学的理论研究。 这些研究将包括非微扰方法量子色动力学（强核相互作用的理论）使用弦理论在四维，明确的计算机生成的解决方案，一个层次模型的研究作为非微扰思想的测试，以及一些工作在引力扩展理论。 到目前为止，对于强相互作用或引力与基本粒子的相互作用的非微扰性质，还没有令人满意的解释。 在严格的数学水平上理解这些基本相互作用对于进一步理解粒子物理学是重要的。 ***

9411002 Rodgers Theoretical studies of elementary particle physics will be conducted. These studies will include non-perturbative approaches to quantum chromodynamics (the theory of the strong nuclear interactions) using string theories in four dimensions, explicit computer generated solutions, a study of a hierarchial model as a test of non-perturbative ideas, and some work on extended theories in gravity. To date there is no satisfactory explanation available for the non-perturbative nature of strong interactions or the interaction of gravity with elementary particles. Understanding these fundamental interactions at a rigorous mathematical level is important for further understanding of particle physics. ***
