The bulk of Sidney Coleman’s research has been in high-energy theoretical physics, in particular quantum field theory. He has contributed to the theories of strong-interaction symmetries, of spontaneous symmetry breakdown, of duality in two-dimensional field theories, of solitons and instantons, of the cosmological constant, and of quantum effects in black-hole dynamics.

[edit] Sad news

Unfortunately you should view the sad news about Sidney's death as a confirmed news with a source. See the main page of the Harvard physics department. [2] --Lumidek (talk) 15:31, 20 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Categeory: Science fiction fans

Coleman was also well-known in science fiction fandom (which was the context in which I knew him). I checked to see if this could be sourced, and indeed his articles are found in science fiction fanzines. See http://www.smithway.org/fstuff/zines.html for example. --Pleasantville (talk) 11:49, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
