Symmetry breaking and the Scalar boson - evolving perspectives
Francois Englert
The mechanism extending spontaneous symmetry breaking to gauge fields had a considerable impact on both theoretical and experimental elementary particle physics. It is corroborated…
The hidden horizon and black hole unitarity
Francois Englert, Philippe Spindel
We motivate through a detailed analysis of the Hawking radiation in a Schwarzschild background a scheme in accordance with quantum unitarity. In this scheme the semi-classical appr…
The emergence of fermions and the E11 content
Francois Englert, Laurent Houart
Claudio's warm and endearing personality adds to our admiration for his achievements in physics a sense of friendliness. His constant interest in fundamental questions motivated th…
The twenty-four near-instabilities of Caspar-Klug viruses
François Englert, Kasper Peeters, Anne Taormina
Group theoretical arguments combined with normal mode analysis techniques are applied to a coarse-grained approximation of icosahedral viral capsids which incorporates areas of var…
An E9 multiplet of BPS states
Francois Englert, Laurent Houart, Axel Kleinschmidt +2
We construct an infinite E9 multiplet of BPS states for 11D supergravity. For each positive real root of E9 we obtain a BPS solution of 11D supergravity, or of its exotic counterpa…
From very-extended to overextended gravity and M-theories
Francois Englert, Marc Henneaux, Laurent Houart
The formulation of gravity and M-theories as very-extended Kac-Moody invariant theories encompasses, for each very-extended algebra G+++, two distinct actions invariant under the o…
