  • 2011 - Gribov Medal, European Physical Society For the uncovering of new facets of the dynamics of four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories. In particular, for discovering a large class of four-dimensional superconformal theories and for finding with others important intricate relations between two-dimensional theories of gravity and four-dimensional gauge theories.

Overview

Davide Gaiotto is affiliated with the Perimeter Institute in Canada, working primarily at the intersection of physics and mathematics. Their research contributions span over 100 publications, with a focus in physics and astronomy as well as mathematics.

The main subfields of study in Gaiotto's work include nuclear and high energy physics, geometry and topology, mathematical physics, statistical and nonlinear physics, and astronomy and astrophysics. Their work covers a range of topics such as black holes and theoretical physics, algebraic structures and combinatorial models, noncommutative and quantum gravity theories, advanced algebra and geometry, advanced topics in algebra, quantum chromodynamics and particle interactions, and cosmology and gravitation theories.

Some of the frequent publication venues for their work are arXiv (Cornell University), Journal of High Energy Physics, Communications in Mathematical Physics, SciPost Physics, and OSTI OAI (U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information).

Gaiotto has collaborated regularly with several co-authors including Kasia Budzik, Jingxiang Wu, Justin Kulp, Ji Hoon Lee, and Matthew Yu. These collaborations often contribute to the interdisciplinary nature of their research across both physics and mathematics.

Notable recent papers authored by Davide Gaiotto include:

  • Orbifold groupoids, 2021, Journal of High Energy Physics
  • Time-reversal breaking in QCD4, walls, and dualities in 2 + 1 dimensions, 2023, OSTI OAI (U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information)
  • Holomorphic SCFTs with small index, 2021, Canadian Journal of Mathematics

Other recent works associated with Gaiotto include papers published in OSTI OAI and Communications in Mathematical Physics, such as "Infrared computations of defect Schur indices" and "Boundary Chiral Algebras and Holomorphic Twists," although these feature other primary authors.

Among the awards received, Davide Gaiotto was honored with the Gribov Medal from the European Physical Society in 2011 for uncovering new aspects of four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory dynamics and for linking two-dimensional theories of gravity with four-dimensional gauge theories.
