Constituents, Fundamental Forces and Symmetries of the Universe

Objetivo

The network aims to gain further insights into the fundamental structure of the universe, namely its basic constituents, the forces mutually acting on them and the symmetries which underlie its theoretical description. We are planning to attack some of the main unsolved issues in gauge theories, supergravity theories, string theory and M-theory, where we hope to make substantial progress by combining and focusing the various expertise and research interests that are present in the participating teams. The research objectives will span the following range of topics: investigation of the basic constituents of string and M-theory, in particular the dynamics and stability problems of membranes and D-branes; the fundamental symmetries of M-theory and string theory; supergravity and gauge interactions; the derivation of the Standard Model of particle physics from string and M-theory compactifications; finally the relation between strings, branes, cosmology and black holes. The network brings together a large number of European groups that work on the forefront of developing a unified description of all matter and interactions. It combines the complementary expertise of several leading research groups in theoretical and mathematical particle physics in Europe in a very unique way. Therefore we regard ourselves not only as a network in one particular field, e.g. such as superstring theory, but our network shows a very high degree of multidisciplinarity, especially as regards the very close relation between modern mathematics and theoretical particle physics. It is the aim of our network to provide to our young researchers a stimulating and active research and training environment. The common training programme contains among other components the organization of schools and workshops specially adapted to young researchers and the creation of several working groups, which will ensure that all topics will be brought together in a coherent way.
