Markus Luty

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Markus Luty is an American theoretical physicist.

Luty studied at the University of Chicago , where he received his PhD in 1991, and was a post-doctoral student at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and in 1994/95 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . In 1996 he became Assistant Professor, 2001 Associate Professor and 2005 Professor at the University of Maryland . Since 2007 he has taught at the University of California, Davis .

He deals with elementary particle physics and cosmology. He researches dark matter, signs of new physics beyond the Standard Model at the Large Hadron Collider (such as supersymmetry, extra dimensions, non-perturbation physics), and theories in which the electroweak interaction is broken by strongly interacting conformal dynamics. In cosmology he worked on the problem of cosmological constants and consistent infrared (long-wave) modifications of general relativity.

In 1998 he found with others dynamic breaking of supersymmetry over anomalies ( Anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking , AMSB). Other proposed mechanisms are via the Standard Model gauge theories or gravity.

In 1997 he was a Sloan Research Fellow and in 2010 he received the Jensen Prize , after which he was visiting professor at Heidelberg University.

He is the son of Fritz Luty (1928-2017), who came from Essen, did his doctorate in Göttingen and was a professor of physics at the University of Utah.
