Talk:Ovrut

Burt Ovrut is a leading researcher in the field of string theory. He created the epkrioptic universe theory (for which there is an article in Wikipedia about). Recently, his group has constructed a Calabi-Yau compactification that reproduces that particles of the standard model. The also obtain the SO(10) GUT group, and seem to get rid of some of it's less usefull properties (like Higgs triplets). This has the potential of being the next breakthrough in string theory.
