Deng Feng Wang was born February 8, 1965 in Chongqing City, China and
died August 15, 1999 while swimming with friends in the Atlantic Ocean
off Island Beach State Park, New Jersey. In his brief life, he was to
have an influence far beyond his years. On August 12th 2000, The Deng
Feng Wang Memorial Conference was held at his alma mater, Princeton
University, during which Deng Feng's mentors, collaborators and
friends presented scientific talks in a testimonial to his tremendous
influence on their work and careers. The first part of this volume
contains proceedings contributions from the conference, with plenary
talks by Nobel Laureate Professor Phil Anderson of Princeton
University and leading Condensed Matter Theorists Professor Piers
Coleman of Rutgers University and Professor Christian Gruber of the
University of Lausanne. Other talks, given by collaborators, friends
and classmates testify to the great breadth of Deng Feng Wang's
influence, with remarkable connections shown between seemingly
unrelated areas in physics such as Condensed Matter Physics,
Superconductivity, One-Dimensional Models, Statistical Physics,
Mathematical Physics, Quantum Field Theory, High Energy Theory,
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Supersymmetry, M-Theory and String Theory,
in addition to such varied fields outside of physics such as Oil
Drilling, Mixed Signal Circuits and Neurology. The second part of the
volume consists of reprints of some of Deng Feng Wang's most important
papers in the areas of Condensed Matter Physics, Statistical Physics,
Magnetism, Mathematical Physics and Mathematical Finance. This volume
represents a fascinating synthesis of a wide variety of topics, and
ultimately points to the universality of physics and of science as a
whole. As such, it represents a fitting tribute to a remarkable
individual, whose tragic death will never erase his enduring
influence.
