Julia Meyer
has been visiting tuesday-wednesday this week. She’s a faculty in Grenoble now, after being in Germany and a loong time in US. I like very much her serious, thorough and ingenious approach to theoretical physics: something rarely seen in her generation/our field.
She gave a talk about various aspects of 1d interacting electrons. I especially liked the last part devoted to ordering of classical electrons in 1d confining potential. It’s a beautiful and context-rich problem that I also touched many years ago.
