An Algebraic Approach to Supersymmetric Field Theories and Superstrings

* 9802510 Gunaydin理论基本粒子物理学的研究将集中在超弦，超引力和超对称场论。 超弦理论的基本对称性将被研究，这些对称性将被用来确定超弦理论和相关的超对称理论的谱。 实施这一计划所必需的数学方法将得到进一步发展。 超弦理论为我们提供了唯一已知的协调量子力学与爱因斯坦引力理论的一致框架，并且是成功的所有相互作用（包括引力）的统一理论的有希望的候选者。 确定超弦理论的谱对于检验它的预言是必不可少的。 在某些能量区域，超弦理论可以有效地近似于超引力和其他超对称场论。 因此，超弦、超引力和超对称场论的工作是非常重要的。

***9802510Gunaydin The research in theoretical elementary particle physics will focus on superstring, supergravity and supersymmetric field theories. The underlying fundamental symmetries of superstring theory will be studied and these symmetries will then be used to determine the spectra of superstring theory and related supersymmetric theories. The mathematical methods that are essential for carrying out this program will be developed further. The superstring theory provides us with the only known consistent framework for reconciling quantum mechanics with Einstein's theory of gravity and is a promising candidate for a successful unified theory of all interactions including gravity. The determination of the spectrum of superstring theory will be essential for testing its predictions. At certain energy regimes superstring theory can be effectively approximated by supergravity and other supersymmetric field theories. Therefore, the work on superstring, supergravity and supersymmetric field theories is very important.***
