Physicist and musician Stephon Alexander has straddled the worlds of theoretical physics and jazz music over the last two decades. He works on the connection between the smallest and largest entities in the universe pushing Einstein’s theory of curved space-time to extremes, beyond the big bang with subatomic phenomena. Alexander is a Professor of Physics at Brown University, with previous appointments at Stanford University, Imperial College, Penn State, Dartmouth College, and Haverford College. Alexander is a specialist in the field of string cosmology, where the physics of superstrings are applied to address longstanding questions in cosmology. In 2001, he co-invented the model of inflation based on higher dimensional hypersurfaces in string theory called D-Branes. In such models, the early universe emerged from the destruction of a higher dimensional D-brane which ignites a period of rapid expansion of space often referred to as cosmic inflation.

I, Shuji Watanabe, got my PhD at Nagoya University, Japan and I am now a Professor of Mathematics at Gunma University, Japan. I am especially interested in operator theory applied to the BCS-Bogoliubov model of superconductivity. In the BCS-Bogoliubov model, one differentiates the thermodynamic potential with respect to the temperature twice so as to show that the transition from a normal conducting state to a superconducting state is a second-order phase transition without an external magnetic field. Since the thermodynamic potential has the solution to the BCS-Bogoliubov gap equation in its form, one differentiates the solution with respect to the temperature twice without showing that the solution is differentiable. Therefore, if the solution were not differentiable with respect to the temperature, then one could not differentiate the solution, and hence one could not show the second-order phase transition. This is why we need to show that the solution is differentiable with respect to the temperature twice as well as showing its existence and uniqueness. Motivated by this, in my recent papers I showed that the solution to the BCS-Bogoliubov gap equation is indeed differentiable with respect to the temperature twice on the basis of fixed-point theorems, and gave an operator-theoretical proof for the second-order phase transition. In this way, from the viewpoint of operator theory, I solved the long-standing problem of the second-order phase transition left unsolved for sixty-three years since the discovery of the BCS-Bogoliubov model.
