Research will be done on the theory of elementary particles, and related areas of cosmology and astrophysics. One focus of the work in particle theory will be the theory of strings, in which the point particles of conventional particle theories are replaced by extended objects having the form of tiny strings. The research in cosmology may include such topics as the cosmological origin of the baryon number, and that in astro- physics such topics as the study of interaction of the magnetic monopoles with neutron stars. The research will be carried out by a highly-distinguished young theoretical physicist who is one of the new Presidential Young Investigators for 1987.

将对基本颗粒理论以及宇宙学和天体物理学的相关领域进行研究。 粒子理论中工作的一个焦点将是弦的理论，其中传统粒子理论的点粒子被具有微小字符串形式的扩展对象所取代。 宇宙学的研究可能包括诸如Baryon数字的宇宙学起源，以及在天文学中的主题，例如研究磁单与中子恒星相互作用的研究。 这项研究将由一位高度不同的年轻理论物理学家进行，他是1987年的新总统年轻调查员之一。
