Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Algebra
  • Pure mathematics

John C. Baez spends much of his time researching Pure mathematics, Quantum gravity, Algebra, Gauge theory and Theoretical physics. The study of Pure mathematics is intertwined with the study of Group in a number of ways. His studies deal with areas such as SIC-POVM and Quantum probability as well as Quantum gravity.

In his work, Barrett–Crane model, Group field theory and Euclidean quantum gravity is strongly intertwined with Spin foam, which is a subfield of Theoretical physics. His studies in Quantum geometry integrate themes in fields like Quantization and Classical mechanics. His Canonical quantum gravity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Horizon and Black hole thermodynamics.

His most cited work include:

  • The Octonions (941 citations)
  • Quantum geometry and black hole entropy (883 citations)
  • Quantum Geometry of Isolated Horizons and Black Hole Entropy (517 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Pure mathematics, Mathematical physics, Algebra, Quantum gravity and Quantum mechanics. His work in Higher-dimensional algebra, Lie group, Hilbert space, Morphism and Invariant is related to Pure mathematics. His work in Mathematical physics addresses subjects such as Mathematical analysis, which are connected to disciplines such as Minkowski space.

His Quantum gravity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Theoretical physics and Classical mechanics. The Loop quantum gravity study which covers Quantum geometry that intersects with Black hole thermodynamics, Horizon and Immirzi parameter. In his research on the topic of General relativity, Group is strongly related with Gauge theory.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pure mathematics (30.65%)
  • Mathematical physics (18.15%)
  • Algebra (18.55%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Morphism (10.08%)
  • Algebra (18.55%)
  • Functor (6.85%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Morphism, Algebra, Functor, Pure mathematics and Petri net. His work deals with themes such as Mathematical model, Legendre transformation, Categorical variable and Category theory, which intersect with Morphism. His work carried out in the field of Algebra brings together such families of science as Operational semantics, Markov process and Quantum world.

His research integrates issues of Entropy, Disjoint union and Reachability, Combinatorics in his study of Functor. His Pure mathematics research integrates issues from Element and Division. He interconnects Rate equation, Discrete mathematics and Set in the investigation of issues within Petri net.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A Compositional Framework for Passive Linear Networks (55 citations)
  • Teleparallel Gravity as a Higher Gauge Theory (44 citations)
  • Teleparallel Gravity as a Higher Gauge Theory (44 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Algebra
  • Pure mathematics

His main research concerns Morphism, Functor, Pure mathematics, Markov process and Algebra. John C. Baez combines subjects such as Commutative property, Probability distribution, Direct sum and Kullback–Leibler divergence with his study of Morphism. His Functor study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cone and Quiver.

His research on Pure mathematics often connects related topics like Entropy. His Markov process research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Second law of thermodynamics, Hamiltonian, Divergence and Game theory. His Algebra research includes elements of Disjoint union, Reachability, Isomorphism and Petri net.
