Remembering Sergio Fubini
R. Jackiw
The author recollects Sergio Fubini's impact on field theory (radial quantization, merons, conformal quantum mechanics) and on MIT.
Topological Aspects of Gauge Theories
R. Jackiw
To appear in Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics, published by Elsevier in early 2006. Comments/corrections welcome. The article surveys topological aspects in gauge theories.
Inserting Group Variables into Fluid Mechanics
R. Jackiw
A fluid, like a quark-gluon plasma, may possess degrees of freedom indexed by a group variable, which retains its identity even in the fluid/continuum description. Conventional Eul…
S. S. Chern and Chern-Simons Terms
R. Jackiw
Some properties of Chern-Simons terms are presented and their physical utility is surveyed.
Scalar Field for Breaking Lorentz and Diffeomorphism Invariance
R. Jackiw
A scalar field can be inserted in Maxwell and/or Einstein theory to effect symmetry breaking. Consequences of such a modification are discussed. Possible dynamics for the scalar fi…
Collaborating with David Gross; Descendants of the Chiral Anomaly
R. Jackiw
I recall my collaboration with David Gross. A result about descendants of the chiral anomaly is presented: Chern-Simons terms can be written as total derivatives.
