Frank Wilczek [5.18.21] It came to me, viscerally, that the intricate calculations I'd done using pen and paper (and wastebasket) might somehow describe this entirely different realm of existencenamely, a physical world of particles, tracks, and electronic signals, created by the kind of machinery I was looking at.

Bernard Carr (2005). It was later found to be embodied, with some refinements, in the projective ribbon statistics of Freedman, Hastings, Nayak et al. 135. In it, I show how the theme of symmetry transmutation through locking is a major thread connecting charge re-quantization, emergent anyons, quark-hadron continuity, and more. Lett.

[89/69] He has received many honors for his work, notably including the Nobel Prize. 85 5042-5045 (2000). Ive classified and annotated the items listed in this subsection in a separate file. One aspect of this, which requires less radical departures than the full program, is a connection between the meaning of the cosmolog- ical term (initial value versus microscopically determinate) and the question whether one should require invariance under volume-changing transformations. In the technical part of item 453 I returned to the analysis of level crossings in the presence of symmetry, and found some beautiful universal structure. He was particularly inspired by two of his high school physics teachers, one of whom taught a course that helped students with the national Westinghouse Science Talent Search. 106. Phys.

Item 241 introduces an essentially new phenomenon in this context, providing limpid models that exhibit confinement of discrete quantum numbers. If axions exist and have low mass within a specific range, they are of interest as a possible component of cold dark matter. Turner), Phys. Gretchen Ertl for The New York Times By Claudia Dreifus. Item 78 demonstrates the non-thermal production mechanism for axions during the Big Bang. Frank Wilczek is a theoretical physicist, author, and intellectual adventurer. [20], In 2014, Wilczek penned a letter, along with Stephen Hawking and two other scholars, warning that "Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. In this cluster of papers the possibility of fractional statistics for two-dimensional particles was introduced and extensively analyzed. I am told it is the leading candidate to describe the observed incompressible state at = 5/2. He received his Bachelor of Science in Mathematics at the . Treiman and A. Zee), Phys.

In preparing the biography, I reflected on my great good fortune in having supportive people and institutions. In itself it is a clever paper, I think, but it was rapidly overtaken by the explosive development of the field. cond-mat/9602112 [95/111] translation symmetry might be spontaneously broken, in classical and quantum theory respectively. Special Frank Wilczek, a Nobel Prize-winning theoretical physicist, author and Arizona State University Distinguished Professor, whose boundary-pushing investigations into the fundamental laws of nature have transformed our understanding of the forces that govern our universe, was announced today as the winner of the 2022 Templeton Prize .

In it, we showed that for three degenerate flavors there is a beautiful preferred pattern of pairing, that opens a gap in all colored channels, modifies the photon in such a way that all elementary excitations have integer charge, and breaks chiral symmetry by a new mechanism. In Items 181 and 186 the full machinery of the renormalization group was brought to bear on this problem, and a host of universal predictions are made, including the existence and properties of a tricritical point as both temperature and strange quark mass are varied. Panning for Gold at the K Stream, Nature 389, 671 (16 Oct. 1997). 120. Quantum Hall States In this group of papers I applied the ideas of Chern-Simons theory and statistical transmutation more specifically to the quantum Hall effect. This is a cluster of papers wherein the methods of superconductivity theory are applied to QCD at high density. He played a central part in formulating and establishing theoretical physics' two standard models the standard model of fundamental interactions and the standard model of cosmology. The Chern- Simons construction of statistical transmutation is implicit in that paper, made more explicit (and used!) On Geometric Entropy, (with Curtis Callan), Phys.
