- Arthur Jaffe is an American mathematical physicist and a professor at Harvard University. Born on December 22, 1937 he attended Princeton University as an undergraduate obtaining a degree in chemistry, and later Clare College, Cambridge, as a Marshall Scholar, obtaining a degree in mathematics. He then returned to Princeton, obtaining a doctorate in physics. With James Glimm, he founded the subject called constructive quantum field theory. One of their major achievements was to show the mathematical compatibility of quantum theory, special relativity, and interaction. They did this by proving the existence of the first examples of non-linear, relativistic quantum fields with non-trivial scattering. Jaffe's work in several related fields of mathematics and physics is well-known, including contributions to gauge theory and to non-commutative geometry. For several years Jaffe was president of the International Association of Mathematical Physics, and later of the American Mathematical Society. He chaired the Council of Scientific Society Presidents. Jaffe conceived the idea of the Clay Mathematics Institute and its programs, including the employment of research fellows and the Millennium Prizes in mathematics. The latter immediately captured public imagination worldwide. He served as a founding Member, a founding member of the Board, and the founding President of that organization. Arthur Jaffe began as chief editor of Communications in Mathematical Physics in 1979 and served for 21 years until 2001, when he was succeeded by M. Aizenman. Jaffe has associations with several other notable organizations, including his present role as Chair of the Board of the Dublin Institute of Advanced Study, School of Theoretical Physics. (That institution was founded in 1940 as a place for Erwin Schroedinger to pursue research in Ireland. ) Currently Jaffe teaches Mathematical Physics and pursues research at Harvard University.
