The National Science Foundation Division of Physics awarded New York University $320,000 on August 15, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support particle and quantum field theory research conducted by Professors Sergei Dubovsky and Massimo Porrati. The research addresses fundamental questions about forces binding elementary particles and the universe's evolution. Dubovsky will develop new methods for analyzing lattice field theory data, investigate finite-group gauge theories in the 't Hooft limit with relevance to quantum information, and study a toy model of eternal inflation in J-T gravity to illuminate quantum gravity mysteries. Porrati will develop new methods for defining quantities that distinguish signal from noise in gravitational wave detection, extend recent methods for constructing physical observables in gauge theories and gravity that may define local qubits of gravitational systems, and investigate cosmological scenarios for matter-antimatter asymmetry origin. The principal investigators will train artificial intelligence agents, postdoctoral researchers, externally sponsored postdocs, visiting scholars, and graduate students, and disseminate results to audiences beyond physics specialists. Period of performance runs through July 31, 2028, with place of performance at New York University in New York, New York.
