His current theoretical research includes work on Axions, Anyons, and Time Crystals. (See fundamental interaction.) In Item 271 we made the case that there need be no phase transition between this color-flavor locked phase and 3-flavor nuclear matter, and in Item 276 we made went deeper into the analytic theory, and also considered more flavors.

Item 131 contains a pioneering use of concepts that later became extremely popular, both in condensed matter and high energy theory, using du- ality transformations to identify theories with apparently quite different coupling constants. J. Mod. Phys. It contains quite a bit of secondary material (that is, conference proceedings, reviews, and so forth) and lacks cohesive organization. Wilczek is a professor in the Department of Physics in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Later authors including Cardy developed a very pretty renormalization group analysis of the phenomena we found here, and generalizations. Phys. Inflation opened up an alternative scenario for axion cosmology, with a potential signature in the form of isocurvature fluctuations. Both classic 2-flavor color superconductivity (with the strange quark passive) and color-flavor locking are valid groundstates in different parameter regimes at high density. 355. So let me answer each of them separately. Frank Anthony Wilczek (/ w l t k /; born May 15, 1951) is an American theoretical physicist, mathematician and Nobel laureate.He is currently the Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Founding Director of T. D. Lee Institute and Chief Scientist at the Wilczek Quantum Center, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), distinguished . Frank Wilczek, a professor in the Department of Physics in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at ASU, shared the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics with David Gross and H. David Politzer for their discovery of asymptotic freedom in the theory of the strong interaction. 167. 115. Just beautiful. B39, 11413 (1989). Conference Summary, in The Very Early Universe, eds.

[1] His grandparents were immigrants, who "really did work with their hands", according to Wilczek, but Frank's father took night school classes to educate himself, working as a repairman to support his family. .

In Item 57 we generalized the halving of quantum numbers discovered abstractly by Jackiw and Rebbi, and in the context of polyacetylene by Su, Schrieffer, and Heeger, to a much wider class of field theories, featuring other fractions. In Item 189 Rajagopal and I demonstrated a mechanism whereby the return to equilibrium after a quench following chiral symmetry restoration can be accompanied by dramatic non-thermal radiation. QCD: Diquarks The attractive force between quarks plays a central role in the theory of QCD at high density. He received his Bachelor of Science in Mathematics at the . degree from the University of Chicago and his Ph.D. from Princeton University. 344. Spinoza, Beethoven, Walt Whitman, Einstein good company! And he is proud of his family. In the fall of 2000, he moved from the Institute for Advanced Study, where he was the J.R. Oppenheimer Professor, to the MIT Department of Physics, where he is the Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics. Phys. The following version is less complete, but better organized. Jour. Introduction to Philosophy of Mathematics and Natural Science, Hermann Weyl author, (Princeton University Press, 2008) [MIT-CTP 4005] After an injection of ideas from Laughlin, the analysis of many-body problems using statistical transmu- tation became quite sophisticated; this is reflected in the papers Items 142, 143, 154, and the book Item 155. The possibility of ordering in imaginary time is also discussed. My Favorites [discussion of favorite books] New York Academy of Sciences Update 19 (May/June 2006). This anything-goes behavior inspired Wilczek in 1982 to name them "anyons". To understand ourselves and our place in the universe, we should have humility but also self-respect, the physicist writes in a new book. Frank has an insatiable appetite for puzzles and games. Discrete Gauge Symmetry in Continuum Theories (with L.M. Phys.

When only 21 years old and a graduate student at Princeton University, in work with David Gross he defined the properties of color gluons, which hold atomic nuclei together. If axions exist and have low mass within a specific range, they are of interest as a possible component of cold dark matter. Fundamentals by Frank Wilczek: 9780735223905 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books "Fundamentals might be the perfect book for the winter of this plague year. 266.

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. [12], Wilczek met Betsy Devine at Princeton, when both watched the televised 1972 Fisher-Spassky chess matches. 405. Hes worked on an unusually wide variety of topics, ranging across condensed matter physics, astrophysics and particle physics. Callan, R.L. Rev. Lett. Backyard Exotica Nature 404 452-453 (2000). Item 130 has become the standard reference on its subject matter. With poetry and fervor, Wilczek takes us on a breathtaking journey to the frontiers of physics, and reminds us of just how privileged we human beings are to glimpse the foundations of reality." Paul Davies, Regents' Professor at Arizona State University and author of The Demon in the Machine " Fundamentals reflects Frank Wilczek's . In 1989 Wilczek became a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, a post he held until 2000, when he moved to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Item 286 was commissioned by the director of Brookhaven National Laboratory, Jack Marburger, in response to a kerfluffle in the press about possible exotic, catastrophic risks associated with the RHIC turn-on.
