This article is about the American mathematical physicist. For the video-game programmer and creator of the video game "Alien Hominid", see
The Behemoth .
John Carlos Baez (;[2] mathematical physicist and a professor of mathematics at the University of California, Riverside (UCR)[3] in Riverside , California. He has worked on spin foams in loop quantum gravity , applications of higher categories to physics, and applied category theory . Additionally, Baez is known on the World Wide Web as the author of the crackpot index .
Education [ edit ]
John C. Baez attended Princeton University where he graduated with an A.B. in mathematics in 1982; his senior thesis was titled "Recursivity in quantum mechanics", under the supervision of John P. Burgess .[4] Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the direction of Irving Segal .[5]
Baez was a post-doctoral researcher at Yale University . Since 1989, he has been a faculty member at UC Riverside . From 2010 to 2012, he took a leave of absence to work at the Centre for Quantum Technologies in Singapore and has since worked there in the summers.[citation needed
Research [ edit ]
His research includes work on spin foams in loop quantum gravity .[6] [7] higher categories to physics,[8] [9] cobordism hypothesis . He has also dedicated many efforts towards applied category theory , including network theory.[10]
Recognition [ edit ]
Baez won the 2013 Levi L. Conant Prize for his expository paper with John Huerta, "The algebra of grand unified theories".[1] American Mathematical Society , in the 2022 class of fellows, "for contributions to higher category theory and mathematical physics, and for popularization of these subjects".[11]
Baez is the author of This Week's Finds in Mathematical Physics ,[12] This Week's Finds in 1993 for the Usenet community, and it now has a following in its new form, the blog Azimuth . This Week's Finds anticipated the concept of a personal weblog .[13] Azimuth also covers other topics that include combating climate change and various other environmental issues.[14]
He is also co-founder of the n or n group blog concerning higher category theory and its applications, as well as its philosophical repercussions. The founders of the blog are Baez, David Corfield and Urs Schreiber , and the list of blog authors has extended since. The n n n n The University of Texas at Austin 's official website.
Baez's uncle Albert Baez was a physicist and a co-inventor of the X-ray microscope ; Albert interested him in physics as a child.[15] Joan Baez and Mimi Fariña .
John Baez is married to Lisa Raphals who is a professor of Chinese and comparative literature at UCR .[16] [17]
