The Scientific Contributions of Joel Scherk
John H. Schwarz
Joel Scherk (1946--1980) was an important early contributor to the development of string theory. Together with various collaborators, he made numerous profound and influential cont…
Studies of the ABJM Theory in a Formulation with Manifest SU(4) R-Symmetry
Miguel A. Bandres, Arthur E. Lipstein, John H. Schwarz
We examine the three-dimensional N = 6 superconformal Chern--Simons theory with U(N) X U(N) gauge symmetry, which was recently constructed by Aharony, Bergman, Jafferis, and Maldac…
N = 8 Superconformal Chern--Simons Theories
Miguel A. Bandres, Arthur E. Lipstein, John H. Schwarz
A Lagrangian description of a maximally supersymmetric conformal field theory in three dimensions was constructed recently by Bagger and Lambert (BL). The BL theory has SO(4) gauge…
The Early Years of String Theory: A Personal Perspective
John H. Schwarz
This article surveys some of the highlights in the development of string theory through the first superstring revolution in 1984. The emphasis is on topics in which the author was…
