This proposal requests support for a broad program of inter-related topics in quantum field theory,string theory, condensed matter physics and mathematical physics. Among the topics are non-Abelain gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions as a way of gaining insight into similar theories in 3+1 dimensions, twistor string theory and the calculation of QCD gluon amplitudes, the quantum Hall Effect in Higher dimensions, and fluid dynamics in relation to the quark-gluon plasma. The PI's are highly productive theorists with a record of influential papers. The broader impacts of the proposal include the development of new techniques in one area and the application to problems in another area; the training of graduate students in this inter-disciplinary approach; access to a large and diverse undergraduate student body at City College; and collaboration with faculty at other colleges of City University.

该提案要求支持量子场论、弦理论、凝聚态物理和数学物理等一系列相互关联的主题的广泛计划。其中主题包括 2+1 维度中的非阿伯兰规范理论（作为深入了解 3+1 维度中类似理论的一种方式）、扭弦理论和 QCD 胶子振幅的计算、更高维度中的量子霍尔效应以及流体与夸克-胶子等离子体有关的动力学。 PI 是多产的理论家，发表过许多有影响力的论文。该提案更广泛的影响包括在一个领域开发新技术以及在另一领域解决问题；采用这种跨学科方法对研究生进行培训；接触城市学院庞大且多元化的本科生群体；以及与城市大学其他学院的教师合作。
