Wilczek was a finalist in 1967 and ultimately won fourth place, based on a mathematical project involving group theory. In Item 56 we discussed how allowing for low-energy supersymmetry changes the analysis of coupling constant unification, raising the scale without grossly modifying the structure. When quarks were brought very close together, the force was so weak that the quarks acted almost as if they were free particles not bound together by any force. 96 151302 (2006). 163. This [asymptotic freedom] is a phenomenon whereby the building blocks which make up the nucleus of an atom 'quarks' behave as free particles when they are close together, but become more strongly attracted to each other as the distance between them increases. 291.

Items 295 and 384 explore focus point supersymmetry, a promising proposal for the pattern of SUSY breaking, while item 299 is a broader discussion of the implications of low-energy supersymmetry for dark matter searches. 253. Quantum physics: Majorana modes materialize Nature 486 195-197 (June 2012) [MIT- CTP 4376] 79. Film from Frank Wilczek's Installation colloquium, November 24. It demonstrates an unusual mechanism whereby symmetry can be hidden. 200. One aspect of this, which requires less radical departures than the full program, is a connection between the meaning of the cosmolog- ical term (initial value versus microscopically determinate) and the question whether one should require invariance under volume-changing transformations. Item 136 describes a possible subtle new form of spin ordering, that exhibits a gap but no easily accessible order parameter, and supports exotic quasiparticle excitations. Phys. Updates? 8 Selected Publications 424. 283. Rev. 58, 1799 (1987). Some earlier work on this subject had been done by Leinaas and Myrheim, and roughly contemporary independent work on the foundations was done by Goldin, Menikoff, and Sharp. In Item 66 we introduced a discrete matter symmetry sufficient to banish catastrophic proton decay in supersymmetric models. 204. B378, 175 (1992). 89. 86 3492-3495 (2001). (with J. E. Moody), Phys.
