Professor Roman Jackiw is a theoretical physicist renowned for his
many fundamental contributions and discoveries in quantum and
classical field theories, ranging from high energy physics and
gravitation to condensed matter and the physics of fluids. Among
his major achievements is the establishment of the presence of the
famous Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomalies in quantum field theory, a
discovery with far-reaching implications for the structure of the
Standard Model of particle physics and all attempts to go beyond
it. Other important contributions, among many, that one may mention
here are the topological mass term in gravity and gauge theories,
and the fractionalization of fermion number and charge in the
presence of topological objects.Roman Jackiw, a Professor Emeritus
at the MIT Center for Theoretical Physics, is the recipient of
several international awards including the Dannie Heineman Prize
for Mathematical Physics and the Dirac Medal of the ICTP. He is a
member of the US National Academy of Sciences and honorary doctor
of Kiev, Montreal, Tours, Turin and Uppsala universities.To
celebrate his 80th birthday, many students and colleagues of
Professor Jackiw have come together to share interesting anecdotes
of working with him as well as their latest research, some of it
inspired by his work. Edited by his former students Antti Niemi and
Terry Tomboulis together with his long-time friend KK Phua, this
festschrift volume is a must-have collection for all theoretical
physicists.
