This award supports research in theoretical elementary particle physics M/Superstring Theory provides us with the only known consistent framework for reconciling quantum mechanics with Einstein's theory offocused on M/Superstring Theory and related supergravity theories. The gravity and is a promising candidate for a successful unified theory of all interactions including gravity. At certain low energy regimes M/Superstring Theory can be effectively described by supergravity theories. However currently the physical as well as mathematical underpinnings of M/Superstring theory are not well understood. The aim of this project is to solve some of the outstanding problems in this field towards the eventual goal of finding a non-perturbative formulation of M/Superstring theory that can explain the universe around us. Symmetry principles underlie all of modern physics.Hence some of the methods developed and the results obtained in thisresearch will have applications in other areas of theoretical physics as well as in mathematics. Graduate students will be involved in the research.

该奖项支持理论基本粒子物理M/SuperString理论的研究为我们提供了唯一已知的一致框架，用于将量子力学与爱因斯坦的理论核对M/SuperString理论和相关的超级重力理论。重力和有前途的候选人是成功的所有相互作用理论，包括重力。在某些低能方案下，M/SuperString理论可以通过超级理论有效地描述。但是，目前尚不清楚M/Supstring理论的物理和数学基础。该项目的目的是解决该领域的一些杰出问题，以最终的目标找到M/SuperString理论的非扰动表述，该理论可以解释我们周围的宇宙。对称原理是所有现代物理学的基础。因此，在本研究中得出的一些方法以及在理论物理和数学的其他领域中获得的结果。研究生将参与研究。
