This award funds the research activities of Professors Igor Klebanov, Alexander Polyakov, and Herman Verlinde at Princeton University.As part of this project, Professors Klebanov, Polyakov, and Verlinde will carry out a broad program of research in theoretical and mathematical physics, with the goal of extending advances in the foundational aspects of quantum field theory and the Einstein theory of gravity. These researchers also intend to apply these advances to the physics of the Universe, to quantum black holes, to particle physics beyond the Standard Model, and to condensed-matter physics. An important aspect of this research program concerns the precise relations between quantum gauge field theories and gravitational theories, known as gauge/gravity dualities. Also included in these studies are gravitational theories that contain fields of arbitrarily high spin. This research project is also envisioned to have an essential educational and mentoring component: preparing post-docs, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates for successful research careers. Some of these students and post-docs go on to become leaders in theoretical physics, while others embark on successful careers in biophysics, neuroscience and other sciences. In all cases, the education, research supervision and mentoring they receive provides a broad impact that transcends the immediate research results. The physicists supported by this award will also continue to be active in organizing advanced schools, workshops and conferences. They have also organized and presented public lectures, informing broader audiences about recent research developments.

该奖项为普林斯顿大学（Princeton University）的教授伊戈尔·克莱巴诺夫（Igor Klebanov），亚历山大·波利亚夫（Alexander Polyakov）和赫尔曼·维林德（Herman Verlinde）提供了资金。作为该项目的一部分，克莱巴诺夫教授，波利亚夫和维林德将在理论和数学物理学方面开展广泛的研究计划，并旨在扩展基础理论的基础理论。 这些研究人员还打算将这些进步应用于宇宙的物理学，量子黑洞，超出标准模型的粒子物理以及凝结物理学。 该研究计划的一个重要方面涉及量子仪场理论与重力理论（称为量规/重力二元性）之间的精确关系。 这些研究还包括包含任意高自旋场的重力理论。该研究项目还设想为具有重要的教育和指导组成部分：为成功的研究职业做准备，研究生，研究生和高级本科生。其中一些学生和毕业后继续成为理论物理学的领导者，而另一些学生则开始从事生物物理学，神经科学和其他科学领域的成功职业。 在所有情况下，他们所接受的教育，研究监督和指导都会产生广泛的影响，超越了直接的研究结果。 获得该奖项的物理学家还将继续积极组织高级学校，研讨会和会议。他们还组织和介绍了公开演讲，向更广泛的观众介绍了最近的研究发展。
