Theoretical Studies on Topics in Phase Transitions in the Early Universe

理论研究在接口之间 天体物理和基本粒子物理将包括 暴胀宇宙学的研究（其中宇宙 经历了一段非常迅速的扩张时期）， 在早期宇宙中，自由夸克变成核子， 宇宙中不同领域之间的墙的性质。 所有这些主题都是我们新兴的 宇宙是如何演化到现在这个状态的。

Theoretical research at the interface between astrophysics and elementary particle physics will include studies of inflationary cosmology (in which the universe undergoes a period of very rapid expansion), the binding of free quarks into nucleons in the early universe, and the nature of walls between different domains in the universe. All of these topics are important elements of our emerging picture of how the universe evolved to its present state.
