Anton Nikolajewitsch Kapustin ( Russian Антон Николаевич Капустин ; born November 10, 1971 in Moscow ) is a Russian- American theoretical physicist .
Life
Anton Kapustin is the son of the composer and pianist Nikolai Kapustin . He received a Bachelor of Science degree in physics from Lomonosov University in Moscow in 1993 and received his PhD in 1997 from the California Institute of Technology with John Preskill . This was followed by teaching at Stony Brook University and finally being appointed Earle C. Anthony Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology.
His interests lie in quantum field theory and string theory . He also pioneered the field of non-commutative geometry . He is known from a work with Edward Witten from 2007, which combines the geometric version of the Langlands program with certain dualities ( S-duality ) in supersymmetrical gauge theories .
At the International Congress of Mathematics in Hyderabad 2010 he gave a lecture on "Mathematical Physics".
