Supersymmetry, Supergravity and Superstrings

9421386盖茨这项研究的目标是探索超对称性、超重力和超弦理论的各个方面，在这三个领域之间存在着实质性的重叠。这项研究的主要目的是增加我们对超对称性的理解，超对称性是一种可以在自然理论中实现的原理。目前似乎有两个候选领域似乎有可能发生这种情况；基本力和基本粒子的超弦统一场模型和(B)可积可解系统，如流体动力学和等离子体系统中的非线性波传播。为了便于这些研究，将使用量子场论、张量分析和超空间几何分析的技术。***

9421386 Gates The goal of this research is to explored aspects of supersymmetry, supergravity and superstring theory where there is a substantial overlap between the three areas. The primary purpose of this research is to increase our understanding of supersymmetry as a principle that can be realized in theories of Nature. There presently appear to be two candidate area where this seems likely to occur; (a.) superstring-unified field models of the fundamental forces and elementary particle and (b.) integrable and soluble systems such as nonlinear wave propagation in hydrodynamics and plasma systems. To facilitate these investigations, techniques from quantum field theory, tensor analysis and superspace geometric analysis will be utilized. ***
