Research in Elementary Particle Physics

这笔经费用于资助芝加哥大学杰弗里·哈维教授的研究活动。作为该项目的一部分，哈维教授计划在弦理论的前沿研究几个方向。具体来说，他将研究自同构形式的数学、超对称弦理论中黑洞态的计数和结构、超对称态的性质以及偶发群的表示理论之间的新联系。预计该项目还将产生更广泛的重大影响。哈维教授计划将他的研究整合到本科和研究生课程中。他还打算指导研究生和博士后。他的公共宣传活动通常包括偶尔在当地电台和电视节目中露面，在当地剧院和学校进行公开演讲，以及为博士后提供康普顿系列讲座的机会，这是一系列周六上午的物理讲座。

This grant funds the research activities of Professor Jeffrey Harvey at the University of Chicago. As part of this project, Professor Harvey plans to pursue several directions at the forefront of string theory. Specifically, he will investigate new connections between the mathematics of automorphic forms, the counting and structure of black hole states in supersymmetric string theories, the properties of supersymmetric states, and the representation theory of sporadic groups. This project is also envisioned to have significant broader impacts. Professor Harvey plans to integrate his research into undergraduate and graduate courses. He also intends to mentor graduate students and postdocs. His public outreach activities typically include occasional appearances on local radio and TV programs, public lectures at local theatres and schools, and the opportunity for postdocs to present the Compton Lecture Series, a series of Saturday morning lectures on physics to the general public.
