Superconformal field theories are an ideal theoretical laboratory for our understanding of strongly-coupled dynamics in various spacetime dimensions. In recent years this subject is undergoing lots of new developments with more and more exact results becoming available. In this project we will realize superconformal field theories within the formalism of string theory and use string theory methods to infer information about superconformal phases. The main aim of the project is to understand the geometrical counterpart within string theory of the computation of superconformal indicies in various dimensions and to develop novel tools to characterize non-lagrangian dynamics.

超共形场论是我们理解各种时空维度中强耦合动力学的理想理论实验室。近年来，这一课题取得了许多新的进展，得到了越来越精确的结果。在这个项目中，我们将在弦理论的形式体系中实现超共形场论，并使用弦理论的方法来推断有关超共形相位的信息。该项目的主要目的是了解弦理论中各种维度的超共形指数计算的几何对应物，并开发新的工具来表征非拉格朗日动力学。
