Gauge principle, vector-meson dominance, and spontaneous symmetry breaking

Creators

  • 1. Chicago Univ., IL (USA). Enrico Fermi Inst.

Description

The author concentrates on certain theoretical developments of the late 1950s which are concerned with the meaning and role of symmetries and symmetry breaking, and especially work done in Chicago, and notes his own involvement in this debate. He worked on symmetry-breaking in superconductivity, using a four-fermion interaction model. (UK)
