theoretical physicist who worked in quantum field theory and statistical mechanics.[1][2]

Biography

Separated from his parents by

Works

He was a specialist in

conformal field theories and their classification.[10]

His first works were done in collaboration with Maurice Jacob and Raymond Stora.[2] In 1980 he published a treatise on quantum field theory with Jean-Bernard Zuber that became a staple textbook on the subject.[1][11]

Awards

In 1995 Itzykson received the Ampère Prize of the French Academy of Sciences.[2]
