چکیده

In an effort to promote communication between the formal and phenomenological branches of the high-energy theory community, we provide a description of some important issues in supersymmetric and string phenomenology. We describe each within the context of string constructions, illustrating them with specific examples where applicable. Each topic culminates in a set of questions that we believe are amenable to direct consideration by string theorists, and whose answers we think could help connect string theory and phenomenology.

String Theory at Snowmass

This is the summary talk for the String Theory subgroup of the TeV and Beyond working group at Snowmass, 2001. At Snowmass, a group of physicists interested in string theory, quantum gravity, and related issues met to discuss the questions: which future facilities would be most likely to provide information about the issues which currently confront string theory, and can string theorists make p...

Number Theory and Physics at the Crossroads

This is the fifth gathering of this series of workshops in the interface of number theory and string theory. The first one was held at the Fields Institute in 2001. The subsequent workshops were all held at BIRS, and this one was the fourth BIRS workshop. The workshop met from May 8th to May 13th for five days. Altogether 40 mathematicians (number theorists and geometers) and physicists (string...

Beating the Standard Model *

Although our beloved standard model of quarks and leptons offers a complete, consistent and correct description of most particle phenomena, lots of vexing questions remain unanswered, such as: Why are the gauge group and the fermion masses what they are? Why three families of quarks and leptons? What breaks electroweak symmetry? How about gravity? Leaving such profound meta-questions to supersy...

hep - ph / 9810059 QCD , Supersymmetric QCD , Lattice QCD and String Theory : Synthesis on the Horizon ?

Supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions have taught us many important physics lessons. These can both inform and be informed by future work on the lattice. I focus on three issues: the properties of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and its relation to the non-supersymmetric case; the properties of gauge theories with matter and their relation to real QCD; and, briefly, the recent disco...

Gauge Theory and String Theory ; An Introduction to the AdS / CFT Correspondence ∗

In this talk, I would like to show you some of the recent developments in superstring theory, in particular the relation between gauge theory and string theory. String theory was originally invented as a theory of hadrons, but it was superseded by the gauge theory. It then found its employment in quantum gravity. Now it seems that string theory and gauge theory are meeting again, and I hope thi...
