Research in theoretical elementary particle physics will try to improve our understanding of large effects in quantum chromodynamics, the theory which describes the strong nuclear force. The role of topology in explaining such phenomena as the confinement of quarks inside nucleons will be investigates. Calculations will also be done to study `duality` relations between seemingly unrelated theories. The methods to be used will approximate the space- time continuum by a discrete lattice of points. The problems to be addressed are important to our understanding of how the strong nuclear force produces some of its most dramatic effects.

理论基本粒子物理学的研究将试图提高我们对量子色动力学中大效应的理解，量子色动力学是描述强核力的理论。 我们将研究拓扑学在解释核子内夸克禁闭等现象中的作用。 还将进行计算，以研究看似无关的理论之间的“对偶”关系。 所使用的方法将通过离散点格来近似时空连续体。 要解决的问题对于我们理解强核力如何产生一些最引人注目的影响很重要。
