Categorical structures in string theory

这个建议是对自然基本定律的数学的贡献。弦理论的发展正在国际上由顶尖物理学家和数学家展开。我们的范畴理论家专家组的基础研究将通过我们自己的教学、休假学者、媒体采访以及与其他学科的学术同事的联系，在不同程度上延伸到澳大利亚社会。这种基础研究通过提供熟练的毕业生和提高经济能力，巩固了私营部门的能力。澳大利亚必须保持在基础科学和技术方面的专门知识，以便为不确定的未来需求做好准备。

The proposal is a contribution to the mathematics of fundamental laws of nature. Developments in string theory are unfolding internationally from top physicists and mathematicians. Basic research by our expert group of category theorists will reach out into the Australian community to varying degrees through our own teaching, vacation scholars, media interviews, and links with our academic colleagues in other disciplines. Such basic research underpins the capacity of the private sector by providing skilled graduates and enhancing the capabilities of the economy. Australia must maintain expertise in basic science and technology to be ready for uncertain future demands.
