论文摘要
约瑟夫·波尔钦斯基（Joseph Polchinski）（1954-2018）是过去50年的主要理论物理学家之一，是一个异常广泛而深刻的思想家。他对量子场理论做出了基本贡献，推进了重新归一化群体的作用以及宇宙学，从而解决了宇宙恒定的问题。波尔钦斯基（Polchinski）在D-Branes上的工作彻底改变了弦理论，并导致了非扰动的重力理论。他最近对黑洞信息悖论的敏锐重新重新制作给我们带来了深远的挑战。乔深深地致力于他的家人，一个心爱的同事和顾问，出色的作家以及一位出色的运动员。
Joseph Polchinski (1954-2018), one of the the leading theoretical physicists of the past 50 years, was an exceptionally broad and deep thinker. He made fundamental contributions to quantum field theory, advancing the role of the renormalization group, and to cosmology, addressing the cosmological constant problem. Polchinski's work on D-branes revolutionized string theory and led to the discovery of a nonperturbative quantum theory of gravity. His recent, incisive reformulation of the black hole information paradox presents us with a profound challenge. Joe was deeply devoted to his family, a beloved colleague and advisor, an excellent writer, and an accomplished athlete.
