Paul Howard Frampton (born October 31, 1943, in England) is a particle phenomenologist. Since 1996, he is the Louis D. Rubin, Jr. Distinguished Professor of physics, at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Born in Kidderminster, he attended King Charles I School, 1954-62, then Oxford University 1962-68. He received BA (Double First) in 1965, MA, DPhil in 1968, and DSc in 1984, degrees all from Oxford. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1990), the American Physical Society (1981) and the Institute of Physics (1986).

Research

Frampton's Oxford thesis analyzed the relationship between current algebra and superconvergence sum rules, and contained a 1967 sum rule[1], derived with Taylor. In particle phenomenology, two examples of extensions of the standard model are: the chiral color model, in 1987, which predicts[2] axigluons and the 331 model[3], in 1992, which can explain the number of quark-lepton generations, and predicts bileptons. Bileptons and axigluons serve as targets of opportunity for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In 2002, with Glashow and Yanagida, he built a model relating matter-antimatter asymmetry in the early universe to measurements possible on Earth[4]. In formal research, three examples are: he calculated, in 1976, the rate of vacuum decay in quantum field theory [5]; in 1982, he analyzed, with Kephart, ten-dimensional gauge field theory, and its hexagon anomaly, before the first superstring revolution[6]; in 1988, with Okada, he constructed [7] the lagrangian which describes the dynamics of the p-Adic string. In 2007, with Baum, he built, for cosmology, a cyclic model [8] which solved a 75-year-old entropy problem discussed by Tolman . In 2010, with Easson and Smoot, he proposed that both present [9], and inflationary [10], cosmic accelerations can be understood by assumption of the holographic principle.

Other activities

A Festschrift [11] for his 60th birthday, in 2003, included contributions by Glashow, 't Hooft, Veltman, and several other similarly-known physicists. A 2005 issue of International Journal of Modern Physics is dedicated to him.

Publications

Frampton's first publication was Chirality Commutator and Vector Mesons, in 1967. He has published mainly in areas of particle phenomenology. He was the author of a book[12] on string theory, in 1974 (2nd edition1986), when it was still named the dual resonance model. In 1986, he published a book[13] on quantum field theory (2nd edition 2000, 3rd edition 2008). A book[14] on cyclic cosmology, for the general public, was published in 2009.
