1110358 DasThis project provides partial support for a planning visit by two US scientists, Dr. Sumit Das andDr. Alfred Shapere, both at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky to attend a meeting on Holographic Techniques in Cosmology in Luxor, Egypt, February 6-10, 2011. The topics cover applications of holographic duality to outstanding problems in cosmology and gravitation. The topics include: Brane world cosmologies and String Theory models of inflation, resolution of Cosmological Singularities, analog models of cosmology and gravity and their gauge theory duals, thermalization and black hole formation and causal structure of space-time. The foreign collaboratoris Dr. Adel Awad at Ain Shams University in Cairo, Egypt.Intellectual merit: The two investigators are currently carrying out research funded by the NSF/Physics Division for interdisciplinary work at the border between traditional theoretical high-energy physics and condensed-matter physics. That work is considered to be potentially transformative. They are working on a new topic called the AdS/CFT correspondence. This is a theoretical tool which has developed over the past decade which enables physicists to study theories in new mathematical limits that have been literally beyond the reach of earlier analysis techniques. The two physicists are pioneers in using these techniques in order to build new connections between different subfields of physics, and their recent work has taken them in the direction of connecting string theory and gravity. The workshop/conference in Egypt is squarely aimed at this question, and their presence there will likely assist them in furthering their own research and in developing new collaborations with the physicists there. These physicists are highly reputable, and such collaboration will be very likely to bear significant fruit. Broader Impacts: The award will help these PI's further their research activities and collaborations with scientists from Egypt and with others participating in the workshop in significant ways.

1110358 Dasthis项目为两位美国科学家Sumit Das和Dr博士进行计划访问提供了部分支持。肯塔基州肯塔基州肯塔基大学物理与天文学系的Alfred Shapere参加了2011年2月6日至10日，埃及卢克索的宇宙学全息技术的会议。该主题涵盖了杰出的问题，涵盖了杰出的问题方面的问题。主题包括：通货膨胀的Brane World宇宙学和弦理论模型，宇宙学奇异性的分辨率，宇宙学和重力的模拟模型及其仪表理论双重，热孔和黑洞形成以及时空的因果结构。外国合作者的Adel Awad博士在埃及开罗的Ain Shams大学的Adel Awad博士。智能优点：两名研究人员目前正在NSF/Physics部门进行研究，从事NSF/Physics部门的资助，用于传统理论高能物理学与浓缩物理学之间的传统理论高能物理学之间的跨学科工作。这项工作被认为具有潜在的变革性。 他们正在研究一个名为ADS/CFT通信的新主题。 这是一种理论工具，在过去的十年中已经发展起来，它使物理学家能够以新的数学限制研究理论，这些限制实际上已经超出了早期分析技术的范围。 两位物理学家是使用这些技术来建立不同物理学子场之间建立新的联系的先驱，他们最近的工作使它们朝着连接弦理论和重力的方向上。在埃及举行的研讨会/会议是针对这个问题的，他们在那里的存在可能会帮助他们进一步发展自己的研究，并与那里的物理学家建立新的合作。 这些物理学家的知名度很高，这种合作很可能会带来重要的成果。 更广泛的影响：该奖项将帮助这些PI进一步的研究活动以及与埃及的科学家以及与其他参与研讨会的人的合作。
