Description |
It was the early 1960s. Elliott H. Lieb and the present author were colleagues at the IBM Research Laboratories in Yorktown Heights, occupying neighboring cubicles. We collaborated in the study, creation and solution of mathematical models of many-body phenomena. In the course of this work we ultimately came to the realization that solvable models - whether they dealt with interacting bosons, Heisenberg spins, "X-Y" spins, or whatever - typically shared an intrinsic property: all were restricted to one spatial dimension with no obvious generalizations to higher dimensions. |
