Anton Nikolayevich Kapustin (born November 10, 1971, Moscow) is a Russian-American theoretical physicist and the Earle C. Anthony Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology.
in physics from Moscow State University in 1993.
[citation needed] He received a Ph.D. in physics from the California Institute of Technology in 1997 with John Preskill as his advisor.
With Edward Witten, he discovered deep connections between the S-duality of supersymmetric gauge theories and the geometric Langlands correspondence.
In recent years, he has focused on mathematical structures in and classification schemes of topological field theories and symmetry-protected topological phases.
