Frank Wilczek [5.18.21] It came to me, viscerally, that the intricate calculations I'd done using pen and paper (and wastebasket) might somehow describe this entirely different realm of existencenamely, a physical world of particles, tracks, and electronic signals, created by the kind of machinery I was looking at. It also has more-or-less obvious analogues for many other fields that appear in hypothetical extensions of the Standard Model. Several of the other papers here are devoted to analysis of exotic dynamics around non-abelian strings.

Fermi and the Elucidation of Matter Fermi Remembered ed. Interest in entanglement entropy has swelled over the years, due to its connections with quantum information theory, the characterization of quantum critical points, and (through holography) to quantum gravity.

Frank has literary and inventive projects in the works. Other Cosmology The titles of most of the papers in this section give a pretty clear idea of their subject matter.

Item 92 was a pioneering discussion of the possibility of deviations from Newtons law at short distances, both from an experimental and from a theoretical 395. This might qualitatively explain the small nuclear (compared to QCD) mass scale; it requires chiral symmetry restoration which could explain the long-standing observation $g_A \rightarrow 1$ in nuclear matter. In the 1970s, Frank Wilczek of The Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J., deduced how the nuclei of atoms stay together, one of those rare "knowing the mind of God" discoveries. Rev.

They have been both developed and rediscovered in subsequent literature. A line element that is regular through the horizon and particular well adapted to such calculations, and has other features of interest, was introduced in Item 202 (the mathematics, though not the quantum physics, of this line element has a prehistory).

Krauss), Phys. B. Bederson, (Springer-Verlag, New York), (1999). Later authors including Cardy developed a very pretty renormalization group analysis of the phenomena we found here, and generalizations. This [asymptotic freedom] is a phenomenon whereby the building blocks which make up the nucleus of an atom 'quarks' behave as free particles when they are close together, but become more strongly attracted to each other as the distance between them increases.
