This award will enable Professors Bunji Sakita and Michio Kaku of               the City College of CUNY to collaborate with Professor Keiji                    Kikkawa of Osaka University, Japan over a two-year period.  These               investigators will strive to deepen our understanding of the                    physical and mathematical properties of string field theory and                 the mechanism of compactification of space-time in order to                     construct a field theory of string in the curved space-time.                                                                                                    String field theory is studied for the purpose of understanding                 the fundamental interactions and geometry of our space-time.  The               two groups of investigators in the U.S. and Japan are both at the               forefront of this research, despite the fact that they are                      approaching the problem from different points of view.                          Collaboration between investigators in our two countries will lead              to a synthesis of knowledge in the area of string field theory and              set the stage for new advances in this area.
