Usage examples of "witten".
Inspired by earlier works of Duff, Hull, Townsend, and building on insights of Schwarz, the Indian physicist Ashok Sen, and others, Witten announced a strategy for transcending the perturbative understanding of string theory.
Meanwhile, Witten was making significant headway on reformulating the weak link he had earlier identified.
Zij kwamen druipnat te voorschijn, met bemodderde schoenen en handen, vuil van het natte zand van den Witten Kuil, terwijl het onophoudelijk druppelde van de verslapte randen hunner strooien hoeden.
Witten and others argued, it is approximated by the long-neglected eleven-dimensional supergravity quantum field theory.
In 1984, Philip Candelas of the University of Texas at Austin, Gary Horowitz and Andrew Strominger of the University of California at Santa Barbara, and Edward Witten showed that a particular class of six-dimensional geometrical shapes can meet these conditions.
A crucial observation, central to the second superstring revolution initiated by Witten and others in 1995, is that string theory actually includes ingredients with a variety of different dimensions: two-dimensional Frisbee-like constituents, three-dimensional blob-like constituents, and even more exotic possibilities to boot.
As argued by Witten, this assumption has made the fundamental ingredients look and behave like one-dimensional strings even though they actually have a hidden, second spatial dimension.
Aspinwall, Morrison, and I had almost daily impromptu meetings with Witten at which he would show us new insights following from his approach.
Inspired by earlier works of Duff, Hull, Townsend, and building on insights of Schwarz, the Indian physicist Ashok Sen, and others, Witten announced a strategy for transcending the perturbative understanding of string theory.
Witten show that physical characteristics such as the number of families of string vibrations and the types of particles within each family are unaffected by these processes.
