Low Energy Effective Actions in Supersymmetric Gauge Theories. The quest for a unified quantum theory of all the fundamental interactions of Nature, including gravity, is a major goal of modern physics. Superstring theory is at present the only plausible candidate.

The quest for a unified quantum theory of all the fundamental interactions of Nature, including gravity, is a major goal of modern physics. Superstring theory is at present the only plausible candidate. This theory makes nontrivial predictions (non-renormalization theorems) about the low energy structure of certain supersymmetric gauge theories (the Standard Model of particle physics is a special gauge theory). This project will develop new tools for the computation of low energy effective actions, which will then be used for a detailed analysis of the non-renormalization theorems governing the low energy dynamics of supersymmetric gauge theories. This research is at the forefront of modern particle physics.Read moreRead less
