The Scientific Contributions of Joël Scherk

نویسنده

  • John H. Schwarz
چکیده

Joël Scherk (1946–1980) was an important early contributor to the development of string theory. Together with various collaborators, he made numerous profound and influential contributions to the subject throughout the decade of the 1970s. On the occasion of a conference at the École Normale Supérieure in 2000 that was dedicated to the memory of Joël Scherk I gave a talk entitled “Reminiscences of Collaborations with Joël Scherk” [1]. The present article, an expanded version of that one, also discusses work in which I was not involved. Contribution to a volume entitled The Birth of String Theory

Editorial Report of fifteen years contributions to radiological sciences: Future directions and prospects

At the close of the 20th century, fundamental discoveries changed broadly the worlds of physics, biology and medicine. The rapid advancements achieved during recent years, mainly due to revolutionary methodological improvements, have led to an unparalleled explosion of information; often appear to overshadow the earlier works. However as more basic discoveries are made these separate scientific...

Methodological Shortcomings in Classical Mathematical Economics: A Critical Examination of the Contributions of Cournot, Jevons and Walras

This paper examines critically the contributions of Cournot, Jevons and Walras as the founders of classical mathematical economics from a methodological standpoint. Advances in different economic schools and doctrines in the 19th century produced an environment of multi-dimensionality in economic analysis which was regarded by the pioneers of classical mathematical economists as a chaotic state...

Softness of Scherk-Schwarz Supersymmetry Breaking

We investigate how the mass correction appears in 5-D with Scherk-Schwarz compactification and clarify whether the KK regularization is reliable method or not. In the extremely sharp cutoff limit of the 5-D regulator which preserves 5-D Lorentz invariance, we prove that the one loop correction to the mass does not depend on the ultraviolet physics for the Scherk-Schwarz breaking of supersymmetr...

Handle Addition for Doubly-periodic Scherk Surfaces

We prove the existence of a family of embedded doubly periodic minimal surfaces of (quotient) genus g with orthogonal ends that generalizes the classical doubly periodic surface of Scherk and the genus-one Scherk surface of Karcher. The proof of the family of immersed surfaces is by induction on genus, while the proof of embeddedness is by the conjugate Plateau method.
