International Research Fellow Awards Program: Quantizing Gravity via Causal Sets

小行星9600348 国际研究员奖励计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行三到二十四个月的研究。该计划的奖项提供了联合研究的机会，以及使用国外独特或互补的设施，专业知识和实验条件。 该奖项将支持博士艾伦R。道顿与墨西哥墨西哥城墨西哥国立自治大学核科学研究所的亨利·瓦尔布鲁克博士合作。 Daughton博士应邀访问国立自治大学引力与场论系，在离散量子引力领域建立合作。 该部门正在进行三个不同的研究方向：解释问题，特别是“时间问题”;量子群的数学及其对时空结构的影响;量子引力的离散模型。 该研究所有一个围绕Sparcsystem 1000构建的Sun系统。 除了Waelbroeck博士，Daughton博士将与Rafael Sorkin教授合作，他将致力于因果集程序。 ***

9600348 Daughton The International Research Fellow Awards Program enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twentyfour months of research abroad. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad. This award will support a twelve-month postdoctoral research visit by Dr. Alan R. Daughton to work with Dr. Henri Waelbroeck at Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM in Mexico City, Mexico. Dr. Daughton has been invited to visit the Department of Gravitation and Field Theory of Universidad Nacional Autonoma to establish a collaboration in the field of discrete quantum gravity. That department is pursuing three different lines of research: the interpretation problems, specifically the "problem of time"; the mathematics of quantum groups and their implications as to the structure of spacetime; and discrete models of quamtum gravity. The institute has a Sun system built around a Sparcsystem 1000. In addition to Dr. Waelbroeck, Dr. Daughton will be working with Professor Rafael Sorkin, who will be working on a causal set program. ***
