A Historical Look at Kaluza-Klein Particles?

Posted on January 18, 2012 by PlatoHagel

In 1919, Kaluza sent Albert Einstein a preprint — later published in 1921 — that considered the extension of general relativity to five dimensions. He assumed that the 5-dimensional field equations were simply the higher-dimensional version of the vacuum Einstein … Continue reading →

The Smoking Gun

Posted on January 14, 2012 by PlatoHagel

One string theorist even went so far to conclude that a string theory calculation of Kaluza-Klein modes was the “smoking gun” that proved our theory was the same as the string theory that string theorists had already been studying.Warped Passages: … Continue reading →

A Conformal Field Theory Approach?

Posted on June 15, 2011 by PlatoHagel

Using the anti–de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence to relate fermionic quantum critical fields to a gravitational problem, we computed the spectral functions of fermions in the field theory. By increasing the fermion density away from the relativistic quantum critical point, … Continue reading →

Perspective of the Theoretical Scientist

Posted on February 5, 2010 by PlatoHagel

Most people think of “seeing” and “observing” directly with their senses. But for physicists, these words refer to much more indirect measurements involving a train of theoretical logic by which we can interpret what is “seen.”– Lisa Randall There are … Continue reading →
