Joseph Polchinski citáty

Joseph Polchinski bol americký fyzik zaoberajúci sa hlavne teóriou strún.

Vyštudoval Canyon del Oro High School v Tucsone, Arizona v roku 1971, bakalársky titul získal na Caltechu v roku 1975, a Ph.D. na Berkeley v roku 1980 pod vedením Stanleyho Mandelstama. Po postdoktorandských pozíciach na SLACu a Harvarde sa stal profesorom na Univerzite v Texase v Austine v rokoch 1984 až 1992. Od roku 1992 bol profesorom na Kalifornskej univerzite v Santa Barbare. Od toho istého roku sa stal tiež členom Kavli Inštitútu teoretickej fyziky v Santa Barbare.

Polchinski je autorom dvojzväzkovej učebnice Teória strún 1998 . Medzi jeho najznámejšie príspevky k teoretickej fyzike patria D-brány a takzvaný Polchinského paradox súvisiaci s Novikovým princípom konzistentnosti. V roku 2008 získal Diracovu medailu za prácu na teórii superstrún. Wikipedia

Joseph Polchinski: Citáty v angličtine

“In the open string the gauge charges are carried by the Chan-Paton degrees of freedom at the endpoints. In the closed string the charges are carried by fields that move along the string.”

“On notable classmate was Dan Friedan. Friedan stunned me, and I think everyone else, at his Ph. D. seminar, when he showed that Einstein's equation, the basic equation of general relativity, could be interpreted in terms of one of the basic objects in QFT, the β function that governs the energy scale. I did not see what this could possibly mean, but a few years later it showed up as one of the key ideas in string theory.”

“In all there are four arguments here for the multiverse: the failure of conventional methods for understanding why the cosmological constant is not large, the success of the environmental theories for doing so, the successful prediction of the nonzero cosmological constant, and the string landscape.”
