Claus Kalevi Montonen (born 1946) is a Finnish
theoretical physicist,[1] most known for his work with British physicist David Olive in proposing the Montonen–Olive duality.[2]
Life
Claus Montonen received his MSc from the
CNRS and CERN. From 1974 he has held various research and teaching positions at the University of Helsinki and Helsinki Institute of Physics
.
Publications
In 1977 while at CERN Montonen, together with Olive, made the remarkable conjecture that there should exist an electromagnetic
