The Green-Schwarz Revolution: Michael Green and the Unification of String Theory

Dive into the life of Michael Green, the 18th Lucasian Professor, whose collaboration with John Schwartz unlocked a loophole in type I string theory with the Green-Schwarz mechanism. Learn how this anomaly cancellation sparked the first superstring revolution, and how Green's later work on Dirichlet boundary conditions and D-branes opened new directions in string theory, shaping his legacy at Cambridge.
