Research in theoretical elementary particle physics will focus onM/Superstring Theory and related supergravity theories. The M/SuperstringTheory provides us with the only known consistent framework forreconciling quantum mechanics with Einstein's theory of gravity and is avery important, promising candidate for a successful unified theory of allthe forces of nature.The underlying fundamental symmetries ofM/Superstring Theory will be investigated and these symmetries will beused to study the consequences of the theory such as the elementaryparticles that the theory predicts. Mathematical techniques that areessential for carrying out this program will be developed further. Atcertain low energy regimes, M/Superstring Theory can be effectivelydescribed by "supergravity" theories, which will also be studied.

理论基本粒子物理学的研究将集中在M/超弦理论和相关的超引力理论。M/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，并且是一个非常重要的，有希望的候选者，可以成功地统一所有自然力的理论。M/超弦理论的基本对称性将被研究，这些对称性将被用来研究理论的结果，例如理论预测的基本粒子。实施这一计划所必需的数学技术将得到进一步发展。 在某些低能区，M/超弦理论可以有效地用“超引力”理论来描述，这也是我们将要研究的。
