9815294OvrutThis three-year award for US-France cooperative research in theoretical physics involves Burt Ovrut of the University of Pennsylvania, Richard Grimm of the Centre de Physique Theorique in Marseille, and Ignatius Antoniadis of the Centre de Physique Theorique of the Ecole Polytechnique in Paliseau, France. The collaboration is aimed at a more systematic understanding of the point particle limit, or low energy limit of string theory and of the patterns of dualities relating different string theories. The investigators will study dualities and compactification of schemes with particular emphasis on the role of non-zero modes and on possible effective theories of supersymmetry and supergravity. The US investigator is an expert in string and supersymmetric theories. This is complemented by the French investigators' expertise in string theory duality and compactification and in differential geometric description of theories of supersymmetry and supergravity. The project addresses problems related to the development of a unified theory of all physical phenomena.

9815294 Ovrut这个为期三年的美法理论物理合作研究奖的获奖者包括宾夕法尼亚大学的Burt Ovrut、马赛物理理论中心的Richard Grimm和法国帕利索理工学院物理理论中心的Ignatius Antoniadis。 合作的目的是更系统地理解点粒子极限，或弦理论的低能极限，以及与不同弦理论相关的对偶模式。 研究人员将研究对偶和紧致化的计划，特别强调非零模式的作用和可能的有效理论的超对称性和超引力。 这位美国调查员是弦理论和超对称理论的专家。 法国研究人员在弦理论对偶性和紧化以及超对称和超引力理论的微分几何描述方面的专业知识补充了这一点。 该项目解决与所有物理现象的统一理论的发展有关的问题。
