Nathan Seiberg

Nathan Seiberg’s research focuses on various aspects of string theory, quantum field theory, particle physics, and condensed matter physics. He has made significant contributions to the understanding of the dynamics of quantum field theories, particularly in two-dimensional conformal field theories, three-dimensional topological field theories, and supersymmetric quantum field theories in various dimensions. His exact solutions of supersymmetric systems have uncovered many new and unexpected phenomena, including the fundamental role of electric-magnetic duality in these theories. These exact solutions have led to many applications in physics and mathematics. Recently, he generalized the notion of symmetries with surprising implications in quantum field theory, particle physics, string theory, condensed matter physics, and quantum information theory.
