6 days ago · Edward Witten, a physicist at the Institute for Advanced Study, recently showed that mild quantum fluctuations of space-time can transform its algebra, making it easier to understand.
2 days ago · This understanding changed in 1995 when Edward Witten suggested that the five theories were just special limiting cases of an eleven-dimensional theory called M-theory. Witten's conjecture was based on the work of a number of other physicists, including Ashoke Sen, Chris Hull, Paul Townsend, and Michael Duff.
Sep 6, 2024 · Published. Sep 06, 2024, 01:50 PM. SINGAPORE – Singapore’s tycoons saw their collective wealth rise by over 10 per cent to US$195 billion (S$253 billion), from US$177 billion in 2023. But Forbes’...
5 days ago · Ananyo Bhattacharya at Nautilus has an article on the role of physics in creating new math. While there is a lot there to point to, recent years have not seen the same kind of breakthroughs Witten and Atiyah were involved in during the 1980s and 90s.
Sep 3, 2024 · In 1985, Edward Witten, who subsequently joined the Faculty in the School of Natural Sciences in 1987, was invited to the Institute by the School of Mathematics to give several lectures on string theory aimed at mathematicians.
1 day ago · In 1985, physicists Mark Goodman and Ed Witten proposed a new strategy that has since mushroomed into an entire sub-field of experimental physics. (This is the same Witten of string theory fame.
3 days ago · His later research on gauge field theories, particularly Yang–Mills theory, stimulated important interactions between geometry and physics, most notably in the work of Edward Witten.
Sep 22, 2024 · Edward Witten on 'the theory of everything'. The Life Scientific. LS 59. ·. TOP 0.5%. Oct. 31, 2023. The Life Scientific returns with a special episode from the USA; Princeton, New Jersey, to be precise.
Sep 10, 2024 · N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory with SU(2) gauge symmetry. In 1994, Nathan Seiberg and Edward Witten developed this theory in two papers that were highly influential for the understanding of non-perturbative aspects of four-dimensional quantum field theories.12 Section 3.1 introduce
Sep 4, 2024 · A universal dual relation T 0 (n + 1) = T H P (n) between the minimum temperature (T 0 (n + 1)) black hole phase and Hawking-Page (HP) transition (T H P (n)) black hole phase in two successive dimensions was introduced in [1], which was reminiscent of the AdS/CFT correspondence, as the HP transition temperature could be treated as the temperature of the dual physical quantity on the boundary ...
