Jeffrey Mandula
Jeffrey Ellis Mandula (* 1941 in New York City ) is an American theoretical physicist.
life and work
Mandula received his PhD from Harvard University in 1966 with Sidney Coleman with the thesis Problems in higher symmetries . In 1969/70 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study . He later worked at the University of Washington in Seattle and was responsible for the promotion of high energy physics at the DoE . In 1973 he received a research grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation ( Sloan Research Fellowship ).
Mandula worked, among other things, on Yang Mills theories and quantum chromodynamics , both in analytical treatment and on the grid . He is known for a theorem with Coleman from 1967, in which they proved the impossibility of combining inner symmetries with spacetime symmetries in quantum field theories ( Coleman-Mandula theorem ).
It was only through supersymmetry that a way out of this “no-go theorem” was shown ( Haag-Łopuszański-Sohnius theorem , 1975).
