Nathan Seiberg - Definition

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
• OM-theory (with Andrew Strominger and Shiraz Minwalla)
• gluino condensation in superstring theory
