Deng Feng Wang was born February 8, 1965 in Chongqing City, China
and died August 15, 1999 while swimming with friends in the
Atlantic Ocean off Island Beach State Park, New Jersey. In his
brief life, he was to have an influence far beyond his years. On
August 12th 2000, The Deng Feng Wang Memorial Conference was held
at his alma mater, Princeton University, during which Deng Feng's
mentors, collaborators and friends presented scientific talks in a
testimonial to his tremendous influence on their work and careers.
The first part of this volume contains proceedings contributions
from the conference, with plenary talks by Nobel Laureate Professor
Phil Anderson of Princeton University and leading Condensed Matter
Theorists Professor Piers Coleman of Rutgers University and
Professor Christian Gruber of the University of Lausanne. Other
talks, given by collaborators, friends and classmates testify to
the great breadth of Deng Feng Wang's influence, with remarkable
connections shown between seemingly unrelated areas in physics such
as Condensed Matter Physics, Superconductivity, One-Dimensional
Models, Statistical Physics, Mathematical Physics, Quantum Field
Theory, High Energy Theory, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance,
Supersymmetry, M-Theory and String Theory, in addition to such
varied fields outside of physics such as Oil Drilling, Mixed Signal
Circuits and Neurology. The second part of the volume consists of
reprints of some of Deng Feng Wang's most important papers in the
areas of Condensed Matter Physics, Statistical Physics, Magnetism,
Mathematical Physics and Mathematical Finance. This volume
represents a fascinating synthesis of a wide variety of topics, and
ultimately points to the universality of physics and of science as
a whole. As such, it represents a fitting tribute to a remarkable
individual, whose tragic death will never erase his enduring
influence.
