Andrew Eben Strominger is an American theoretical physicist who is the director of Harvard's Center for the Fundamental Laws of Nature. He has made significant contributions to quantum gravity and string theory. These include his work on Calabi–Yau compactification and topology change in string theory, and on the stringy origin of black hole entropy. He is a senior fellow at the Society of ...
Professor Strominger's research has endeavored to shed light on these problems using a variety of approaches. The emergence of string theory as a potential unified theory of nature began with Strominger's co-discovery of Calabi-Yau compactifications(1).
Strominger discovered the brane solutions of string theory 2, and subsequently used them to unravel the intricate and beautiful duality symmetries of the theory. He used these branes to give a microscopic demonstration that black holes are able to holographically store information 3 ; resolving a deep paradox uncovered by Hawking and Bekenstein a quarter century earlier.
Mar 16, 2017 · Lectures on the Infrared Structure of Gravity and Gauge Theory. Andrew Strominger. This is a redacted transcript of a course given by the author at Harvard in spring semester 2016. It contains a pedagogical overview of recent developments connecting the subjects of soft theorems, the memory effect and asymptotic symmetries in four-dimensional ...
Andrew Strominger A bstract It is shown that there is a universal gravitational memory effect measurable by inertial detectors in even spacetime dimensions d ≥ 4. The effect falls off at large ...
