Stephen L. Adler

Stephen Louis Adler ( born November 30, 1939 in New York City ) is an American physicist who has specialized in the fields of elementary particles and field theory.

Adler received the bachelor's degree from Harvard University in 1961 and the Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1964. 1964 to 1966 he was a Junior Fellow at Harvard. He was in 1966 a member of the Institute for Advanced Study and in 1969 Professor of Theoretical Physics and 1979 same place New Jersey Albert Einstein Professor. In 2010 he became Professor Emeritus.

Adler won, among others the Sakurai Prize of the American Physical Society in 1988 and the Dirac Medal ( ICTP ) of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in 1988.

Eagle research in the fields of high energy neutrino processes, soft- pion theorems, sum rules and in particular the discovery of the Adler Bell Jackiw anomaly provided important building blocks for the understanding of today's physics. In the 1980s, Adler employed, inter alia, with monopoles in Yang-Mills theories and with the induced gravity, initially pioneered by Andrei Sakharov (1968 ) derived the theory of gravity as an effect of vacuum fluctuations.
