Greg Moore (physicist)

Gregory Winthrop Moore is an American theoretical and mathematical physicist who deals with string theory and quantum field theory.

Moore studied up to the bachelor's degree at Princeton University in 1985 and his doctorate at Harvard University in Sidney Coleman ( Geometrical Aspects of Anomalies ). He is a professor at Rutgers University.

It dealt, inter alia, compounds of string theory ( extremal ) black holes to number theory and automorphic forms ( and to other fields of string theory as the perturbation theory and cosmology ), with topological field theories ( with applications to topological invariants ), branes, two-dimensional quantum gravity, conformal field theories (even with application to anyons ) and string field theory. He works closely with mathematicians.

For example, he turned the attractor mechanism ( by Renata Kallosh, Andrew Strominger, Sergio Ferrara) from the theory of supersymmetric black holes on the compactification of superstrings and showed that certain Calabi - Yau manifolds arithmetic are excellent there.

1986-1989, 1999, 2002, 2006 and 2012 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study, where he worked with Edward Witten. In 1994 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Zurich ( Two dimensional Yang - Mills theory and topological field theory ). In 2012 he became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society. For 2014, it the Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics and Leonard Eisenbud Prize were awarded.
