Areas of Interest and Expertise
Theoretical Particle Physics
Quantum Field Theory
Supergravity
Supersymmetry
Applied Mathematics
Research Summary
Professor Freedman's research is in quantum field theory, quantum gravity, and string theory with an emphasis on the role of supersymmetry. His most recent area of concentration is the AdS/CFT correspondence in which results on the strong coupling limit of certain 4-dimensional gauge theories can be obtained from calculations in classical 5-dimensional supergravity.
