Synopsis "Geometric Phases in Physics"

During the last few years, considerable interest has been focused on the phase that waves accumulate when the equations governing the waves vary slowly. The recent flurry of activity was set off by a paper by Michael Berry, where it was found that the adiabatic evolution of energy eigenfunctions in quantum mechanics contains a phase of geometric origin (now known as 'Berry's phase') in addition to the usual dynamical phase derived from Schrödinger's equation. This observation, though basically elementary, seems to be quite profound. Phases with similar mathematical origins have been identified and found to be important in a startling variety of physical contexts, ranging from nuclear magnetic resonance and low-Reynolds number hydrodynamics to quantum field theory. This volume is a collection of original papers and reprints, with commentary, on the subject.

Frank Anthony Wilczek es un físico teórico estadounidense nacido en Mineola, Nueva York, en 1951, considerado una de las figuras más influyentes de la física contemporánea. Formado en la Universidad de Chicago y doctorado en la Universidad de Princeton bajo la dirección de David Gross, realizó contribuciones fundamentales a la cromodinámica cuántica, la teoría que describe la interacción fuerte entre las partículas subatómicas. A lo largo de su carrera ha estado vinculado a instituciones de prestigio como el Instituto de Tecnología de Massachusetts (MIT), donde desarrolló gran parte de su labor investigadora. Su trabajo se distingue por combinar profundidad científica con una notable capacidad para comunicar ideas complejas a públicos no especializados.

Entre sus obras verificadas destacan Las diez claves de la realidad (Fundamentals: Ten Keys to Reality), A Beautiful Question y The Lightness of Being. En estos libros explora cuestiones relacionadas con la naturaleza de la materia, el origen de las leyes físicas y la relación entre ciencia, belleza y conocimiento. En reconocimiento a sus aportes a la comprensión de las fuerzas fundamentales de la naturaleza, recibió el Premio Nobel de Física en 2004, compartido con David Gross y H. David Politzer por el descubrimiento de la libertad asintótica en la teoría de las interacciones fuertes.
