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[1] and the Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics in 1998[2]. 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)
