American theoretical physicist
Gregory Moore, 2012
Gregory W. Moore is an American theoretical physicist who specializes in mathematical physics and string theory . Moore is a professor in the Physics and Astronomy Department of Rutgers University and a member of the University's High Energy Theory group.[1]
Education
Moore received an AB in physics from Princeton University in 1982 and a PhD in the same subject from Harvard University in 1985.[2]
Career
Moore's research has focused on: D-branes on Calabi–Yau manifolds and BPS state counting; relations to Borcherds products , automorphic forms , black-hole entropy, and wall-crossing ; applications of the theory of automorphic forms to conformal field theory , string compactification, black hole entropy counting, and the AdS/CFT correspondence ; potential relation between string theory and number theory ; effective low energy supergravity theories in string compactification and the computation of nonperturbative stringy effects in effective supergravities; topological field theories, and applications to invariants of manifolds; string cosmology and string field theory .
Moore was a member of the Advisory Board for Springer's Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics .[3]
Awards
Moore won a 2007 Essays on Gravitation Award from the Gravity Research Foundation for his essay, joint with Frederik Denef , How Many Black Holes Fit on the Head of a Pin? [4] [5] In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .[6]
Moore won the 2014 Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics "For eminent contributions to mathematical physics with a wide influence in many fields, ranging from string theory to supersymmetric gauge theory, conformal field theory, condensed matter physics and four-manifold theory."[7] In 2015, he was jointly awarded the 2015 Dirac Medal by ICTP .[8]
Moore was elected as a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2011 and a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 2020.[9] [10]
Personal life
Moore is married to Karin M. Rabe , and son of Arthur Cotton Moore .[citation needed ]
