0334379LoweThis Americas Program award will support collaboration between Dr. David Lowe of Brown University, Prof. Alberto Guijosa of the Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM), and Prof. Hugo Garcia-Compean of the Centro de Investigacion y de Estudios Avanzados del IPN (CINVESTAV). The collaborators intend to work on some of the central outstanding issues in quantum gravity and string theory. Their main goal is to achieve a better understanding of string theory when gravitational effects are dominant, such as in black hole spacetimes and in cosmology where current perturbative techniques break down.In recent years various nonpertubative formulations of string theory have been conjectured. These conjectures open the door to understanding many of the outstanding issues in string theory, such as vacuum selection, physics in strong gravity spacetimes, the idea of holography in gravitation theories, and early universe cosmology, as well as deepening our understanding of quantum field theories dual to string theory. The U.S. collaborator is a leader in the study of the duality between string theory and ordinary quantum field theory, especially in connection with various aspects of black holes, while the Mexican side brings to the collaboration expertise in analyzing black hole physics and physics in noncommutative spacetimes.

这个美洲项目奖将支持布朗大学的David Lowe博士、墨西哥国家自治大学(UNAM)Ciencias Nucleares研究所的Alberto Guijosa教授和Avanzados del IPN中心(CINVESTAV)的Hugo Garcia-Compean教授之间的合作。合作者打算致力于量子引力和弦理论中的一些核心悬而未决的问题。他们的主要目标是在引力效应占主导地位的情况下更好地理解弦理论，例如在黑洞时空和宇宙学中，目前的微扰技术失效了。近年来，人们猜测了弦理论的各种非微扰公式。这些猜想为理解弦理论中的许多悬而未决的问题打开了大门，如真空选择、强引力时空中的物理学、引力理论中的全息思想以及早期的宇宙宇宙学，以及加深我们对弦理论双重量子场论的理解。美国的合作者在弦理论和普通量子场论之间的对偶性研究方面处于领先地位，特别是在与黑洞的各个方面有关的研究方面，而墨西哥方面则为合作带来了分析黑洞物理和非对易时空物理的专业知识。
