Busy Work

I am reading an article on superconductivity theory with strings math tools.

Solid state physicists are interested since finally there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel for this old problem. A theory for High Temperature Superconductivity could in principle be worth several millions, if not billions of dollars.

Decades old string theory has not produced much of useful ideas in its life. Maybe this is the time.

John McGreevy wrote a nice set of lectures for a Santa Barbara summer school that you can find at the Los Alamos electronic repository.

At the same time I am doing busy translation work. I am learning about Georg Cantor, but still it is a little bit boring.
