David Brydges

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Chandos Brydges (born July 1, 1949 in Chester ) is a mathematical physicist.

Brydges received his PhD in 1976 under Paul Federbush at the University of Michigan ( A Linear Lower Bound for Generalized Yukawa Model Field Theories ). He was a professor at the University of Virginia and is a professor at the University of British Columbia at Vancouver (on a Canada Research Chair). In 1982 he received a research grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation ( Sloan Research Fellowship ).

Brydges is concerned with mathematical quantum field theory and statistical mechanics, in particular with the application of functional integral techniques (including supersymmetry techniques), cluster development techniques, renormalization group methods on problems of static mechanics and probabilistic problems such as self-avoiding random walk, where he worked with Thomas C. Spencer in 1985 introduced the lace expansion .

From 2003 to 2005 he was President of the International Association of Mathematical Physics . In 2007 he was made a member of the Royal Society of Canada . In 2010 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Hyderabad ( Renormalization group analysis of weakly self-avoiding walk in dimensions 4 and higher , with Gordon Slade ).
