World Scientific Series in 20th Century Physics - Vol. 22
A QUEST FOR SYMMETRY
Selected Works of Bunji Sakita
by Keiji Kikkawa (Osaka University, Japan), Miguel Virasoro (ASICTP, Italy) & Spenta R Wadia (Tata Institute Mumbai, India)
This important book contains selected research papers of Prof Bunji Sakita. Included are his pioneering papers on SU(6) symmetry, strong coupling theory, string theory, supersymmetry and the method of collective coordinates. There is also a vivid personal account of his journey in physics. The book brings to light some of the key concepts of modern high energy physics.
Contents:
- Strong Coupling of the Multi-Partial Wave Meson Isotriplet (B
Sakita)
- Generalization of Dual Models (J-L Gervais & B Sakita)
- Functional Approach to Strong-Coupling Theory in Static Models. I. Charge-Scalar Models (G C Branco et al.)
- Gauge Degrees of Freedom, External Charges, Quark Confinement Criterion in A0 = 0 Canonical Formalism (J-L Gervais & B Sakita)
- SO(2N) Grand Unification in an SU(N) Basis (R N Mohapatra & B Sakita)
- Chiral Symmetry and Chiral Anomaly in Incommensurate Charge-Density-Wave System (Z-B Su & B Sakita)
- Local Chiral Symmetry and Charge-Density Waves in One-Dimensional Conductors (B Sakita & K Shizuya)
- and other papers
Readership: High energy physicists.
"Especially interesting is the autobiographical introduction by a scientist born and educated in Japan but who has spent almost his entire professional career outside that country."
