A Study of 12-12 SUSY Algebras and Exploration of 4D, N=1 Super gravity
Faculty Sponsor: Meenakshi Narain
Lucas plans to construct mathematical parallels to a 12-12 physics theory of super gravity. The theory attempts to unify electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces with gravity, a notoriously difficult task given gravity’s divergence from the other fundamental forces shortly after the Big Bang. Lucas hopes that his research will provide insight into the characteristics of super gravity and contribute to the development of a method to study more fundamental theories.
