0324081CveticThis three-year award for US-UK cooperative research involves the University of Pennsylvania, Texas A&M University, and the University of Cambridge's Newton Institute. The project concentrates on aspects of gravitational physics and the implications of M-theory. M-theory is a candidate for a unified quantum theory of gravity with all other forces in nature. This effort builds on existing research programs of U.S. physicists, M. Cvetic and Christopher Pope, and British theoretician Gary Gibbons. They plan to investigate fundamental aspects of gravitational physics with emphasis on special holonomy spaces and their implications for M-theory dynamics. The University of Pennsylvania and Texas A&M researchers bring to this collaboration expertise in approaches to gravitational physics based on particle physics and high energy physics. This is complemented by the British researcher's expertise in gravitational physics and supergravity techniques applied to black hole physics. Their complementary work will contribute toward furthering M-theory as a complete theory of fundamental particle physics and all forces in nature. This work has applications in the physics of black holes and superstring duality.

0324081 Cvetic这项为期三年的美英合作研究奖涉及宾夕法尼亚大学、德克萨斯农工大学和剑桥大学牛顿研究所。 该项目集中在引力物理学和M理论的影响方面。 M理论是引力与自然界中所有其他力的统一量子理论的候选者。 这项工作建立在美国物理学家M. Cvetic和Christopher Pope，以及英国理论家加里吉本斯。 他们计划研究引力物理学的基本方面，重点是特殊的完整空间及其对M理论动力学的影响。宾夕法尼亚大学和德克萨斯农工大学的研究人员为这次合作带来了基于粒子物理学和高能物理学的引力物理学方法方面的专业知识。 英国研究人员在引力物理学和应用于黑洞物理学的超引力技术方面的专业知识对此进行了补充。 他们的互补工作将有助于进一步推动M理论作为基本粒子物理学和自然界中所有力的完整理论。 这项工作在黑洞和超弦对偶性物理学中有应用。
