Nambu and the Ising Model
Lars Brink, Pierre Ramond
In 2021, to mark the occasion of 2021 was Yôichirô Nambu's birth centenary, we engaged in writing a historical/scientific description of his most incisive papers. Nambu was the hum…
BMS algebra from residual gauge invariance in light-cone gravity
Sudarshan Ananth, Lars Brink, Sucheta Majumdar
We analyze the residual gauge freedom in gravity, in four dimensions, in the light-cone gauge, in a formulation where unphysical fields are integrated out. By checking the invarian…
BMS algebra as an extension of the Poincaré symmetry in light-cone gravity
Sudarshan Ananth, Lars Brink, Sucheta Majumdar
We analyze possible local extensions of the Poincaré symmetry in light-cone gravity in four dimensions. We use a formalism where we represent the algebra on the two physical degree…
Hadronic Strings -- A Revisit in the Shade of Moonshine
Lars Brink
When asked to write a contribution to the memorial volume for Peter Freund I went through my memory of the first time I met Peter. This was in 1971 when Dual Models were very popul…
A hidden symmetry in quantum gravity
Sudarshan Ananth, Lars Brink, Sucheta Majumdar
The action integral contains more information than the equations of motion. We have previously shown that there are signs of an extended exceptional symmetry for N=8 supergravity i…
Maximal supergravity and the quest for finiteness
Sudarshan Ananth, Lars Brink, Sucheta Majumdar
We show that N = 8 supergravity may possess an even larger symmetry than previously believed. Such an enhanced symmetry is needed to explain why this theory of gravity exhibits ult…
