This proposal requests continued support for the research programs of two PI's who work in different areas and do not collaborate with one another. Nepomichie works on integrable systems in quantum field theory and has developed a strong reputation both nationally and internationally; he is, in fact, one of the few people in the U.S. who have done consistently significant work in this area. Alvarez is working on large N Yang Mills gauge theories and is also a well-known researcher. Both areas have a long history, but are highly relevant to current particle theory: integrable systems have undergone a revival of interest in the context of supersymmetry and string theory; and the large N limit of Yang Mills theories is still a challenging problem the solution of which would highly significant for particle physics. The broader impacts of this proposal lie more in the range of collaborations across the world than in outreach to a wider public. Nepomichie has collaborators on three continents and appears to be a good ambassador for his country as well as an excellent theorist. Alvarez serves the physics community in a variety of ways that are important for its well being.

该提案要求继续支持两个PI的研究计划，他们在不同的领域工作，彼此不合作。Nepomichie工作在量子场论的可积系统，并已制定了良好的声誉在国内和国际上，他是，事实上，少数人在美国谁做了一贯的重大工作在这一领域。阿尔瓦雷斯正在研究大N杨米尔斯规范理论，也是一个著名的研究人员。这两个领域都有很长的历史，但与当前的粒子理论高度相关：可积系统在超对称性和弦论的背景下经历了兴趣的复兴;杨米尔斯理论的大N极限仍然是一个具有挑战性的问题，其解决方案对粒子物理学具有重要意义。这一提议的更广泛影响更多地在于世界各地的合作范围，而不是与更广泛的公众接触。Nepomichie在三大洲都有合作者，似乎是一个很好的大使，他的国家以及一个优秀的理论家。阿尔瓦雷斯以各种方式为物理学界服务，这些方式对物理学界的福祉至关重要。
