The PIs will work on developing theories of extended objects, Supersymmetry and Supergravity. One area of research will focus on generalizations of Supermembrane Theory. Another area of research will be on Supersymmetric Gauged Scale Covariance.A third area is a novel mechanism for having zero cosmological constant without fine-tuning. The PIs will also investigate non-Abelian generalizations of brane effective actions The project will involve students coming from an ethnically diverse student body. It is hoped that the students trained by the PIs will become either the scientists and Engineers of tomorrow, or become teachers of Physics and Mathematics.

PI 将致力于发展扩展物体、超对称和超引力理论。研究领域之一将集中于超膜理论的推广。另一个研究领域是超对称规范尺度协方差。第三个领域是一种无需微调即可实现零宇宙常数的新机制。 PI 还将研究膜有效行动的非阿贝尔概括。该项目将涉及来自不同种族学生群体的学生。希望PI培养的学生要么成为明天的科学家和工程师，要么成为物理和数学教师。
