Research in Gravitation and Quantum Field Theory

研究将在现代量子引力极其活跃的前沿领域进行，包括超重力、弦及其后继者，以及宇宙学，以寻找它们潜在的规律。目前这一时期是追求宇宙基本原理的空前活跃时期，这是受到目前天基和陆基观测平台在绘制宇宙外部界限方面取得的戏剧性结果的推动。这幅浮现的图景同时提供了惊人的数据和根本的悖论。该项目的一个目标是提供有助于形成一幅连贯的宇宙图景的解释。

Research will be carried out at the extremely active frontiers of modern quantum gravity, including supergravity, strings and their successors, as well as cosmology, to search for their underlying laws. The present period is one of unprecedented activity in the pursuit of the fundamentals of the Universe, spurred by the current dramatic results of space- and terrestrially-based observational platforms in charting its outer limits. The emerging picture simultaneously provides amazing data and fundamental paradoxes. One objective of this project is to provide explanations that foster a coherent picture of the cosmos.
