Nathan Seiberg

Nathan \"Nati\" Seiberg (born September 22, 1956, Israel) is an Israeli American theoretical physicist who works on string theory. He was recipient of a 1996 MacArthur Fellowship and the Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics in 1998. He is currently a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, USA. His contributions to mathematical physics include:

- papers from the early 1990s about the application of holomorphy to calculations in gauge theories with supersymmetry
- articles about the strong-weak duality (S-duality) in the context of supersymmetric gauge theories
- papers written with Edward Witten about the complete solution of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions
- a paper on Matrix theory and M theory in the discrete Light-Cone Quantization
- his and Edward Witten\'s analysis of the appearance of non-commutative geometry in theories containing open strings, and an identification of a low energy limit of open string dynamics as a noncommutative quantum field theory
- OM-theory (with Andrew Strominger and Shiraz Minwalla)
