French theoretical physicist (born 1952)
Bernard Julia at Harvard University
Bernard Julia (born 1952 in Paris) is a
French theoretical
physicist who has made contributions to the theory of
supergravity .
[1]
[2] He graduated from
Université Paris-Sud in 1978,
and is
directeur de recherche with the
CNRS working at the
École Normale Supérieure . In 1978, together with
Eugène Cremmer and
Joël Scherk , he constructed
eleven-dimensional supergravity .
[3]
Shortly afterwards, Cremmer and Julia constructed the classical Lagrangian for four-dimensional N =8 supergravity by dimensional reduction from the 11-dimensional theory.
[4]
[5] Julia also studied
spontaneous symmetry breaking and the
Higgs mechanism in supergravity
[6]
[7]
Other work includes a study, with
Anthony Zee , of particles called
dyons that carry both electric and magnetic charges
[8]
and many papers on
string theory ,
M-theory , and
dualities .
In 1986, Julia was awarded the
Prix Paul Langevin of the
Société Française de Physique .
