Paul B. Wiegmann (ÃÂðòõû ÃÂþÃÂøÃÂþòøàÃÂøóüðý) is a Russian physicist. He is the Robert W. Reneker Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Chicago, James Franck Institute and Enrico Fermi Institute. He specializes in theoretical condensed matter physics. He made pioneering contributions to the field of quantum integrable systems. He found exact solutions of O(3) Non-linear Sigma Model, , WessâÂÂZuminoâÂÂWitten model (together with Alexander Polyakov), Anderson impurity model and multi-channel Kondo model (with Alexei Tsvelik).
In 2003, Paul Wiegmann was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the official citation indicating that the recognition was "For exact solutions of models of interacting electronic systems and quantum field theory, including the multi-channel Kondo problem and the Anderson model for magnetic impurities."
According to the Inspire High-Energy Physics database, Paul Wiegmann's author profile includes more than 2700 citations, several very well-known papers, and famous papers, and over 45 citations per article.
