Research in Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics

这项提议要求继续支持弦理论、超重力和量子场论之间的研究计划。还将继续将其应用于宇宙学和强耦合类QCD场理论，这是强子结构和相互作用的基础。PI是该领域公认的领导者，取得了重要的成果；例如，ADS/CFT通信中第一批明确的相关器计算之一。他的博士后伙伴在弦理论方面做了开创性的技术工作，是他这一代人中有前途的成员之一。

This proposal requests support for a continuing program of research at the interface of string theory, supergravity and quantum field theories. Applications to cosmology and to strongly coupled QCD-like field theories, the basis of hadron structure and interactions, will also be pursued. The PI is an acknowlrdged leader in the field, with important results to his credit; an example is one of the first explicit calculations of correlators in the AdS/CFT correspondence. His postdoctoral fellow has done seminal technical work in string theory, and is one of the promising members of his generation.
