Items 120, 123, 124, and 128 demonstrate the use of gauge theory concepts to describe two problems in the mechanics of deformable bodies: self-orientation (say of divers or falling cats) at zero angular momentum, and self-propulsion (say of bacteria) at low Reynolds number. Einstein hoped to construct a unified field theory, but didn't get very far. I discovered the possibility of fractional statstics for myself, and put it in the context of gauge theories, in the first three items listed below. hep-th/9408089 [94/51] Lett.

It also contains a discussion of the theoretical background and alternatives that holds up well today. B 516, 704-718 (1998). A line element that is regular through the horizon and particular well adapted to such calculations, and has other features of interest, was introduced in Item 202 (the mathematics, though not the quantum physics, of this line element has a prehistory). Phys. When Frank Wilczek was a teenager in New York in the 1960s, he sometimes went shopping with his mother. The 2022 Templeton Prize Laureate, Dr. Frank Wilczek joins a list of 51 Prize recipients including St. Teresa of Kolkata (the inaugural award in 1973), the Dalai Lama (2012), and Archbishop .

He is known, among other things, for the discovery of asymptotic freedom, the development of quantum chromodynamics, the invention of axions, and the discovery and exploitation of new forms of quantum statistics (anyons). Item 50 was the first to address the problem that later interactions tend to restore equilibrium in a serious, quantitative fashion. 419. Phys.

[35][36] Wilczek named this new hypothetical particle the "axion" after a brand of laundry detergent,[37] while Weinberg called it "Higglet". Wilczek holds the Herman Feshbach Professorship of Physics at MIT Center for Theoretical Physics. [49] In 2018 he and Qing-Dong Jiang calculated that the so-called "quantum atmosphere" of materials should theoretically be capable of being probed using existing technology such as diamond probes with nitrogen-vacancy centers. 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. 425.QCDMeetsBCSMeetsQQ ,QCDDownUnder2[MIT-CTP3945](January2008). V32, 177 (1982).
