FRANK WILCZEK is the Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics at MIT, recipient of the 2004 Nobel Prize in physics, and author of A Beautiful Question: Finding Nature's Deep Design . Item 55 was an early use of higher-dimensional spinor representations, when this was considered quite adventurous. In items 395 and 399 the analysis was successfully extended to charged and rotating black holes. He is currently the Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), full Professor at Stockholm University, as well as a Distinguished Origin Alchetron Sign in Sneha Girap (Editor) Physics Today 55N8 10-11 (2002). [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. He has received many honors for his work, notably including the Nobel Prize. V32, 177 (1982). Heavy Quarks These papers were all inspired, in one way or another, by the experimental discovery of the J/ family of particles, which were beautifully adapted to serve as a demonstration system for the newly emerging Standard Model. 4 SU(3) Predictions for Charmed Meson Decays (with S.

Countless people had probably seen and used the product, but the precocious Wilczek was almost certainly the first to think it might offer a good name for an elementary particle. Phys. Inflation opened up an alternative scenario for axion cosmology, with a potential signature in the form of isocurvature fluctuations. Whence the Force of F=ma? "[21], Wilczek is also a supporter of the Campaign for the Establishment of a United Nations Parliamentary Assembly, an organization which advocates for democratic reform in the United Nations, and the creation of a more accountable international political system. 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. Phys. Lett. When quarks were brought very close together, the force was so weak that the quarks acted almost as if they were free particles not bound together by any force. In Item 58 we showed how supersym- metric models based on the group SO(10) (or, of course, a larger group) contain a very natural mechanism for lifting the troublesome Higgs color triplet to very high mass, leaving the doublet behind. hep-th/9112054 [91/92] Rev.

It is not entirely obvious how to quantize such Hamiltonians, but a consistent, well-motivated procedure is proposed in item 457. In Item 177 Holzhey and I discussed a class of dilaton black holes that behave much like elementary particles; it later developed, that in certain cases these solutions in fact do correspond to elementary objects in string theory. 39.
