This award funds the research activities of Professors Thomas Curtright and Luca Mezincescu at the University of Miami. This project concerns a number of formal (mathematical) aspects of string theory and quantum field theory. Specifically, the PI's propose to examine the symmetries, geometry, and topology of superstring theories. Topics that will be investigated include mathematical deformations and non-commutative geometries in quantum mechanics; scale and conformal invariance and the behavior of real systems under changes in scale (renormalization group); and Nambu algebras and their applications to conformal field theories and the dynamics of strings and branes. This work is also envisioned to have a number of broader impacts. The proposed research activities will advance discovery and understanding while simultaneously promoting learning at a major research university. This work will also contribute to the enhancement of the human-resource infrastructure for research and education at the University of Miami. Finally, the results of this research will be disseminated broadly in colloquia and seminars, on internet web-pages, on internet archives, and in printed journals.

该奖项资助迈阿密大学教授托马斯·柯尔克孜和卢卡·梅津切斯库的研究活动。 这个项目涉及弦理论和量子场论的一些形式（数学）方面。具体来说，PI的建议，以检查对称性，几何和超弦理论的拓扑。 将调查的主题包括数学变形和量子力学中的非交换几何;规模和共形不变性和行为的真实的系统下的规模变化（重整化群）;和Nambu代数及其应用共形场论和动力学的字符串和膜。 预计这项工作还将产生一些更广泛的影响。 拟议的研究活动将促进发现和理解，同时促进一所主要研究型大学的学习。 这项工作还将有助于加强迈阿密大学的研究和教育人力资源基础设施。 最后，这项研究的结果将通过座谈会和研讨会、互联网网页、互联网档案和印刷刊物广泛传播。
