His contributions to mathematical physics include:
* Mathematical foundations of rational 2-dimensional CFTs (with G. Moore).
* Discovery of some of the first examples of "Seiberg Duals", numerous and ever growing disparate theories that are dynamically equivalent to another at low energy
* papers from the early 1990s about the application of holomorphy to calculations in [[gauge theory|gauge theories]] with supersymmetry, including a solution of N=1 four-dimensional gauge theories such as SQCD. He later used renormalization group methods to obtain a 3d Seiberg dual for his 4D SQCD
* articles about the strong-weak duality ([[S-duality]]) in the context of supersymmetric gauge theories
* papers about the complete solution of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories in four and three dimensions
* a paper on [[Matrix string theory|Matrix theory]] and 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 string (physics)|open strings]], and an identification of a low energy limit of open string dynamics as a [[noncommutative quantum field theory]]
* OM-theory (with [[Andrew Strominger]] and [[Shiraz Minwalla]])
* In recent years, partly with Witten, T. Senthil and others, results in Chern-Simons theories and non-supersymmetric field theory dualities of high relevance to condensed matter theory.

Nathan "Nati" Seiberg (/ˈsaɪbɜːrɡ/; born September 22, 1956) is an Israeli American theoretical physicist who works on quantum field theory and string theory. He is currently a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, United States.

Honors and awards

[edit]

He was recipient of a 1996 MacArthur Fellowship[1] and the Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics in 1998.[2] In July 2012, he was an inaugural awardee of the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, the creation of physicist and internet entrepreneur, Yuri Milner.[3] In 2016, he was awarded the Dirac Medal of the ICTP. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a Member of the US National Academy of Sciences.

His contributions include:

  • Ian Affleck, Michael Dine, and Seiberg explored nonperturbative effects in supersymmetric field theories.[4] This work demonstrated, for the first time, that nonperturbative effects in four-dimensional field theories do not respect the supersymmetry nonrenormalization theorems. This understanding led them to find four-dimensional models with dynamical supersymmetry breaking.
  • In a series of papers, Michael Dine and Seiberg explored various aspects of string theory. In particular, Dine, Ryan Rohm, Seiberg, and Edward Witten proposed a supersymmetry breaking mechanism based on gluino condensation,[5] Dine, Seiberg, and Witten showed that terms similar to Fayet–Iliopoulos D-terms arise in string theory,[6] and Dine, Seiberg, X. G. Wen, and Witten studied instantons on the string worldsheet.[7]
  • Gregory Moore and Seiberg studied Rational Conformal Field Theories. In the course of doing it, they invented modular tensor categories and described many of their properties.[8] They also explored the relation between Witten’s Topological Chern–Simons theory and the corresponding Rational Conformal Field Theory.[9] This body of work was later used in mathematics and in the study of topological phases of matter.
  • In the 90’s, Seiberg realized the significance of holomorphy as the underlying reason for the perturbative supersymmetry nonrenormalization theorems[10] and initiated a program to use it to find exact results in complicated field theories including several N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimension. These theories exhibit unexpected rich phenomena like confinement with and without chiral symmetry breaking and a new kind of electric-magnetic duality – Seiberg duality.[11] Kenneth Intriligator and Seiberg studied many more models and summarized the subject in lecture notes.[12] Later, Intriligator, Seiberg and David Shih used this understanding of the dynamics to present four-dimensional models with dynamical supersymmetry breaking in a metastable vacuum.[13]
