Nathan Seiberg
Nathan Seiberg at Harvard University
Nathan Seiberg is an Israel-born theoretical physicist who works on string theory. He is currently a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. His contributions to physics include:
- papers from the early 1990s about the application of holomorphy to calculations in gauge theories with supersymmetry
- articles about the strong-weak duality (S-duality) in the context of supersymmetric gauge theories
- papers written with Edward Witten about the complete solution of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions
- a proof that Matrix theory describes M-theory in the Discrete Light Cone Quantization
- his and Edward Witten's analysis of the appearance of non-commutative geometry in theories containing open strings, and an identification of a low energy limit of open string dynamics as a noncommutative quantum field theory
- OM-theory (with Andrew Strominger and Shiraz Minwalla)
- gluino condensation in superstring theory
