| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
According to the Big Bang Theory, the four interactions in the nature - weak, string, electromagnetic and gravitational interactions - were unified at the birth of the universe. Superstring theory is regarded as a strong candidate for unifying these four interactions. In this research project, I studied the matrix models as the nonperturbative formulation of superstring theory. In superstring theory, the spacetime must be 10-dimensional, consisting of 1-dimensional temporal and 9-dimensional spatial directions. Especially, I studied how our 4-dimensional spacetime originated through the numerical simulations of the matrix models.
