Timeline
Peter West is one of the pioneers of supersymmetry and its application to string theory. He discovered many of the quantum properties of supersymmetric theories in four dimensions including an early version of the supersymmetry nonrenormalization theorems and the superconformal invariance of large classes of supersymmetric quantum field theories, including the maximally supersymmetric N = 4 supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory, which has 16 supersymmetries, theories with 8 supersymmetries and 4 supersymmetries. The non-renormalization theorem plays a key role in determining how supersymmetry might be realised in nature and the above were the first discovered non-trivial conformal quantum field theories in four dimensions.
West, together with Ali Chamseddine, formulated both ordinary gravity and supergravity as a Yang–Mills theory and so provided the first algebraic proof of the supersymmetric invariance of supergravity theories. The gauging approach of Chamseddine and West was different to the earlier ideas of gauging to find gravity that took the Poincaré transformations on Minkowski spacetime and made them local, that is, they took the translations to depend on spacetime. The gauging method of Chamseddine and West has been used to construct conformal supergravity theories and plays a key role in the formulation of higher spin theories.
More recently West has proposed that M-theory, the underlying theory of strings and branes, should have a very large Kac–Moody algebra, called E11, as a symmetry. He has shown that this theory contains all the maximal supergravity theories.
West was elected to the Royal Society in 2006; his citation read
Peter West completed his secondary school education at Liverpool College after which he obtained his BSc in physics at Imperial College, London in 1973 where he subsequently studied for his Ph.D under the supervision of Abdus Salam until 1976. After postdoctoral positions at the École normale supérieure in Paris and then Imperial College London, he moved to King's College London in 1978. He has held short term positions at Stony Brook at The State University of New York, the California Institute of Technology, CERN, the Chalmers Institute of Technology in Goteborg and the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematical Physics in Vienna.
Peter Christopher West FRS , born on 4 December 1951, is a British theoretical physicist at King's College, London and a fellow of the Royal Society.
