Graduate of Princeton, 1982, Harvard PhD, 1985. Postdoctoral appointments at Harvard Society of Fellows and Princeton Institute for Advanced Study. Faculty at Yale, 1999-2000; since then at Rutgers. Prof. Moore works on ``physical mathematics,'' - an interdisciplinary subject where a number of fields of mathematics inform and are informed by questions of fundamental physics.
Research Interests
Interactions between supersymmetric theories and the differential topology of four-manifolds. Mathematical and physical applications of supersymmetric theory, especially relations between the six-dimensional superconformal theories and Hitchin systems. Moonshine (e.g. the relation of K3 sigma models to the representation theory of the Mathieu group M24). Topological field theory and anomalies. Topological phases of matter.
