Bruno Zumino

Bruno Zumino (28 April 1923 − 21 June 2014)[1] was an Italian theoretical physicist and faculty member at the University of California, Berkeley.He obtained his DSc degree from the University of Rome in 1945.[2] He was renowned for his rigorous proof of the CPT theorem with Gerhart Lüders;[3] his pioneering systematization of effective chiral Lagrangians;[4] the discoveries, with Julius Wess, of the Wess–Zumino model,[5] the first four-dimensional supersymmetric quantum field theory with Bose–Fermi degeneracy, and initiator of the field of supersymmetric radiative restrictions; a concise formulation of supergravity;[6] and for his deciphering of structured flavour-chiral anomalies, codified in the Wess–Zumino–Witten model of conformal field theory.[7]
