Gordon Walter Semenoff (born July 11, 1953), OC, FRSC, is a theoretical physicist and professor of physics at the University of British Columbia, Canada. He is known for his research on quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, statistical mechanics and string theory and is particularly famous for his co-invention, together with , of the parity anomaly in odd-dimensional gauge field theories and for his pioneering work on graphene. He is also well known for development of thermal field theory, the application of index theorems and their generalizations in quantum field theory and string theory, notably with respect to the duality between string theories and gauge field theories.

dbo:abstract
  • Gordon Walter Semenoff (* 11. Juli 1953 in Pincher Creek, Alberta) ist ein kanadischer theoretischer Physiker. Semenoff studierte an der University of Alberta mit dem Bachelor-Abschluss 1976 und der Promotion 1981. Als Post-Doktorand war er am Center for Theoretical Physics des Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 1983 wurde er University Research Fellow an der University of British Columbia, an der er 1990 eine volle Professur erhielt. 1984/1985 und 2000 war er am Institute for Advanced Study, 1989 (Nordita Professor), 1999 und 2012 am Niels-Bohr-Institut in Kopenhagen (2012 als Velux Gastprofessor), 2001 und 2011 am Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris, 2005/06 am IHES und 2007 und 2012 am Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge. 1986 war er Gastprofessor an der ETH Zürich und 1989 an der Universität Hokkaidō. Er war Gastwissenschaftler an der Universität Uppsala (bei Antti Niemi) und der Universität Tours (ebenfalls bei Niemi). 1983 entdeckte er mit Antti Juhani Niemi die quantenmechanische Paritätsverletzung (Paritätsanomalie) von Eichtheorien mit Fermionen in ungeraden Dimensionen der Raum-Zeit (und bei ungerader dualer Coxeterzahl der Eichgruppe). Unabhängig gelang das A. Norman Redlich. Von ihm stammen Pionierbeiträge zur Theorie des Graphens (elektronische Quasiteilchen-Anregungen als durch die Diracgleichung beschriebene effektiv masselose Fermionen), Beiträge zur thermischen Quantenfeldtheorie, zur Anwendung des Atiyah-Singer-Indexsatzes in der Quantenfeldtheorie (zur Erklärung gebrochenzahlige Fermionenzahlen topologischer Solitonen) und Dualitäten von Stringtheorien und stark gekoppelten Eichfeldtheorien sowie mit Quantengravitation. 2000 erhielt er den CAP-CRM Prize. Er ist Mitglied der Royal Society of Canada (2000) und Träger des Order of Canada (2012). 2012 erhielt er die Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal und 1989 den Killam Research Prize und die Fellowship der Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. 2012 erhielt er den Lifetime Achievement Award der Canadian Association of Physicists. 2011 wurde er Ehrendoktor der University of Lethbridge.
