Earle Radcliffe Caley (14 May 1900, Cleveland – February 1984, Columbus, Ohio) was an American chemist and historian of chemistry.

Earle Radcliffe Caley was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on May 14, 1900. While completing his pre-college edu- cation in Cleveland schools he became fascinated with chemistry in the classes oh his high school science teacher. He entered Case Institute of Technology but after two years transferred to Baldwin-Wallace College where he took his B.S. in 1923. He served as a student assistant in chemistry while at Baldwin-Wallace. After a year as a high school science teacher he undertook graduate work at Ohio State University, taking his M.S. in 1925 and his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry in 1928, working on the direct determination of sodium, under Charles W. Foulk. The next fourteen years were spent with the analytical faculty at Princeton and it was through an archeologist friend at Princeton that his interest in archeology developed. In 1937 he was a chemist with the staff excavating the Agora in Athens. In Greece he learned that the tin content of Greek coins fell off with age while the lead content increased. During the war years Caley was an industrial chemist with Wallace Laboratories, New Brunswick, New Jersey, while also teaching engineering science, defense management, and war training at Princeton. In 1946 he returned to academia as associate professor at Ohio State. He soon became professor and remained until his retirement as emeritus professor in 1970. Over the years he carried out research on analytical problems, giving particular attention to analysis of the elements of periodic groups I and II and to the use of hydriodic acid in the analysis of poorly solu- ble compounds. His particular interest over the years was the application of analytical chemistry to a better understanding of the history of early civilizations. He analyzed ancient coins, statues, glassware, and pigments, primarily from the Mediterranean regions, but he also made studies of artifacts from Latin America, Afghanistan, Arabia, and India. Caley, as an analytical chemist, kept abreast of new instrumentation and methodplpgies which he could apply to the analysis of archeological specimens. Caley was the author or coauthor of approximately 250 publications, about 60 of them on ar- cheological chemistry. Most of the latter papers appeared in numismatic, classical, archeological and museum journals, but a few are in Ohio Journal of Science, Journal of Chemical Education, Chemical and Engineering News and Transactions of the American Philosophical Society. Caley’s books are: Analytical Factors and Their Logarithms (1932); The Composition of Ancient Greek Bronze Coins (1939); Theophrastus on Stones (a translation with J.F. Richards, 1956); Orichalcum and Related Ancient Alloys: Origin, Composition and Manufacture With Special Ref- erence to the Coinage Of The Roman Empire (1964); Analysis of Ancient Metals (1964); Metro- logical Tables (1965); and History of the Department of Chemistry of the Ohio State University (1970). Caley was honored with the [John Frederick] Lewis Prize of the American Philosophical Soci- ety in 1940 [for The Composition of Ancient Greek Bronze Coins], the Ohio Journal of Science Research Prize in 1952, and the Citation of the American Classical League in 1954.

Caley received the Dexter Award in 1966 for his longtime use of analytical chemistry as a tool for better understand- ing of archeological problems. Caley died at his home in Columbus, Ohio in February 1984. Sources The preceding text is taken from Aaron J. Ihde, A Quarter Century of Dexter Awards, 1981, un- published manuscript.

[3] Caley studierte Chemie am Case Institute of Technology und am Baldwin-Wallace College (renamed in 2012 Baldwin Wallace University) mit dem Bachelor-Abschluss 1923, erwarb 1925 seinen Master-Abschluss an der Ohio State University, an der er 1928 in Analytischer Chemie bei Charles W. Foulk mit dem Thema Direct determination of sodium promoviert wurde.[4] Danach war er an der Princeton University, wo sein Interesse für Archäologie erwachte. 1937 war er als Chemiker an der Ausgrabung in der Agora in Athen beteiligt. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg war er Industriechemiker in den Wallace Laboratories in New Brunswick (New Jersey). 1946 wurde er Associate Professor und bald darauf Professor an der Ohio State University. 1970 ging er in den Ruhestand.

Neben Forschungen in analytischer Chemie (Alkali- und Erdalkalimetalle, Verwendung von Jodwasserstoff bei der Analyse schlecht lösbarer Verbindungen) wandte er seine Kenntnisse auf die Analyse antiker Münzen, Statuen, Glas und Pigmenten aus dem Mittelmeerraum und anderen Teilen der Welt an.

1966 erhielt Earle R. Caley den Dexter Award und er erhielt den John Frederick Lewis Prize der American Philosophical Society. 1967 wurde er Ehrendoktor des Baldwin Wallace College.

Daniel Louis Jafferis (born July 23, 1983 in West Haven, Connecticut)[1] is an American theoretical physicist, known for his research on quantum gravity, supersymmetric quantum field theory, and string theory.[2]

Jafferis was privately home-schooled and began his studies at Yale University at the age of 14, receiving a bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics in 2001. He received his PhD in physics from Harvard University in 2007. His PhD thesis Topological string theory from D-brane bound states was supervised by Cumrun Vafa.[3][4] Jafferis was from 2007 to 2010 a post-doctoral fellow at Rutgers University[1] and from June 2010 to March 2011 a temporary member at the Institute for Advanced Study.[5]. He is an associate professor at Harvard University.

In 2008, Jafferis was[6] with Juan Maldacena and others one of the discoverers of the AdS-CFT correspondence of superconformal (N=6) Chern-Simons theory in three dimensions to M-theory in  , described by M2-branesn – these are special branes, the solutions of eleven-dimensional supergravity are with three-dimensional World volume – in   (four-dimensional anti-DeSitter space).

In 2012, with Igor Klebanov and others, he formulated a conjecture (F-theorem) about the behavior of the free energy F in renormalization group flows of a three-dimensional supersymmetric quantum field theory.[7]

In 2016, with Ping Dao and Aron C. Wall, he proposed a mechanism for traversable wormholes without exotic matter[8][9] with a description mathematically equivalent to quantum teleportation.

Jafferis wurde privat zu Hause unterrichtet und begann mit 14 Jahren sein Studium an der Yale University mit dem Bachelor-Abschluss in Mathematik und Physik 2001. Er wurde 2007 an der Harvard University bei Cumrun Vafa[10] in Physik promoviert, war Post-Doktorand an der Rutgers University und 2010/11 war er am Institute for Advanced Study[11]. Er ist Associate Professor an der Harvard University.

Jafferis war 2008[12] mit Juan Maldacena und anderen einer der Entdecker der AdS-CFT-Korrespondenz von superkonformer (N=6) Chern-Simons-Theorie in drei Dimensionen zu M-Theorie in  , beschrieben durch M2-Branen – das sind spezielle Brane, die Lösungen der elfdimensionalen Supergravitation sind mit dreidimensionalem Weltvolumen – in   (vierdimensionaler Anti-DeSitter-Raum).

Mit Igor Klebanov und anderen formulierte er 2012 eine Vermutung (F-Theorem) über das Verhalten der freien Energie F in Renormierungsgruppenflüssen einer dreidimensionalen supersymmetrischen Quantenfeldtheorie.[13]

2016 schlug er mit Ping Dao und Aron C. Wall einen Mechanismus für durchquerbare Wurmlöcher ohne exotische Materie vor[14][15] mit einer zur Quantenteleportation mathematisch äquivalenten Beschreibung.

2012 erhielt er den Henry Primakoff Award der American Physical Society für Konstruktion und Untersuchung dreidimensionaler supersymmetrischer Quantenfeldtheorien.[16] Für 2019 erhielt er den New Horizons in Physics Prize für fundamentale Einsichten in Quanteninformation, Quantenfeldtheorie und Gravitation (Laudatio).
