Presidential Young Investigator Award: Research in String Theory

理论物理学的研究将由1991年新的总统青年研究员之一进行，将涉及弦理论中的各种主题。其中一个主题是提供一个完整的经典定义的问题，并最终提供一个量子力学定义的理论。第二个主题是弦理论中矩阵模型思想的进一步发展。弦理论是所有基本力和所有基本粒子的理论的一个很有希望的候选者，因此它的进一步阐明是非常重要的。

Research in theoretical physics, to be carried out by one of the new Presidential Young Investigators for 1991, will deal with various topics in string theory. One of these topics is the problem of providing a full classical definition, and eventually a quantum-mechanical definition, of the theory. A second topic is the further development of matrix model ideas for string theory. String theory is a promising candidate for a theory of all the basic forces and all the elementary particles, so its further elucidation is quite important.
