BOSE-FERMI SYMMETRY: A CRUCIAL ELEMENT IN ACHIEVING UNIFICATION
Jogesh C. Pati (IAS, Princeton and U. Maryland)🇺🇸
Abstract
This talk is dedicated to honor the memory of Professor S.N. Bose. I survey the crucial roles played by Bose-Fermi symmetry in all recent attempts at higher unification, which include the ideas of (i) the conventional approach to grand unification; (ii) the preonic approach; and (iii) superstrings.
