John Clayton Taylor Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics of the University of Cambridge and an Emeritus Fellow of Robinson College.[4][5] He is the father of mathematician Richard Taylor.
Education
Taylor earned his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1956, under the supervision of Richard J. Eden and Abdus Salam. His thesis was entitled Renormalisation and Related Topics in Quantum Field Theory.[3][1]
Research
Taylor has made contributions to
gauge theories
.
With various collaborators, in 1980 he discovered that real and virtual
Coulomb gauge.[6]
Books
- Gauge Theories of Weak Interactions (1976)
- Hidden Unity in Nature's Laws (2001)
- Gauge Theories in the Twentieth Century (2001)
Awards and honours
Taylor was elected a
perturbative Q.C.D.". He has also contributed to weak interaction theory, over a long period, and most recently to the elucidation of the gauge structure of the unified weak and electromagnetic interaction.[7]
