Research in quantum field theory in the Mathematics Department covers the canonical quantization, the renormalization of Yang-Mills theory, quantum gravity, and string theory with an emphasis on the role of supersymmetry. Recent work involves the AdS/CFT correspondence (from which results on the strong coupling limit of certain 4-dimensional gauge theories can be obtained from calculations in classical 5-dimensional supergravity) and the renormalizability and high-precision experimental verification of the standard model.
