Jack Baldwin (1938–2020)

Sir Jack Baldwin, FRS: biomimetic studies at Oxford.

October 2005 has brought about the end of an era in organic chemistry at the University of Oxford. Almost two years since the doors of the Dyson Perrins (DP) Laboratory were closed to organic chemistry, the last Head of this renowned department has retired his chair. Professor Sir Jack Baldwin, FRS (Fig. 1), Wayneflete Professor of Organic Chemistry, joined Oxford in 1978, succeeding Sir Ewart ...

An Identity of Jack Polynomials

In this work we give an alterative proof of one of basic properties of zonal polynomials and generalised it for Jack polynomials

assess their own thought processes in an internal dialogue similar to reasoned debate among group members; and to represent features of the world, not just as your perspective or my perspective, but as objectively true, as facts. Evolutionary psychology is a crowded market. There’s no shortage of books telling a story about how chimp-like ancestors turned into modern humans. A Natural History o...

From Jack to Double Jack Polynomials via the Supersymmetric Bridge

The Calogero–Sutherland model occurs in a large number of physical contexts, either directly or via its eigenfunctions, the Jack polynomials. The supersymmetric counterpart of this model, although much less ubiquitous, has an equally rich structure. In particular, its eigenfunctions, the Jack superpolynomials, appear to share the very same remarkable combinatorial and structural properties as t...
