Marc Henneaux (2015)

Marc Henneaux (* 1955 in Brussels ) is a Belgian theoretical physicist.

Henneaux studied physics at the Université libre de Bruxelles and received his doctorate in 1980 under Jules Géhéniau and was previously a visiting scientist at Princeton University in 1978/78 . As a post-doctoral student , he was at the University of Texas with Claudio Teitelboim from 1981 to 1984 . He then carried out research on behalf of the Belgian research company FNRS. In 1993 he became assistant professor and in 1996 professor at the Free University of Brussels. Since 1998 he has headed the Theoretical and Mathematical Physics department (Service de Physique Théorique et Mathématique). Since 2004 he has been the director of the Solvay Institute.

Henneaux worked a lot with Claudio Teitelboim (Claudio Bunster) and wrote a monograph with him on the BRST quantization of gauge field theories . He is also affiliated with Teitelboim's Chilean research institute, CECS.

In 2000 he received the Francqui Prize . In the laudation it was emphasized, among other things, that he found references to the AdS / CFT correspondence early in the 1980s .
