Research in theoretical particle physics will explore the emerging interface between superstring theory and quantum field theories of elementary particles. The implications of string theory for quantum field theories, and of exact solutions of quantum field theories for string theory, will be studied in detail. Specific research areas will include phase transitions and symmetry breaking, within the context of exactly solvable quantum field theories. The quantum field theories in question are natural extensions of the theories describing quarks and gluons, and are of great phenomenological as well as theoretical interest. Their high degree of solvability makes it possible to address a number of central yet otherwise-intractible questions about elementary particles.

理论粒子物理学中的研究将探索超致理论与基本粒子的量子场理论之间的新兴界面。将详细研究字符串理论对量子场理论的含义以及量子场理论的精确解决方案对字符串理论的含义。 特定的研究领域将在可解决的量子场理论的背景下包括相变和对称性破坏。 所讨论的量子场理论是描述夸克和灵难的理论的自然扩展，并且具有极大的现象学和理论利益。它们的高度可解决性使得有关基本颗粒的许多中心但有可能的问题是可能的。
