Charles Angas Hurst
Charles Angas Hurst, AM, PhD, Hon DSc (Melb) (22 September 1923 – 19 October 2011[1]) was an Australian mathematical physicist noted for his work in Lattice models, Quantum field theory, Asymptotic expansions and Lie groups. His PhD was a seminal work on Quantum field theory, developing asymptotic expansions for perturbation expansions. In 1952 Hurst represented Australia in the inaugural International Mathematical Union.
Hurst's work with Herbert Green[2] on lattice problems and the Ising model led to the Free fermion field model,[3] which contained all known properties of Fermions at the time of its publication. Hurst's work with Thirring (Thirring model) found the simplest non-linear field and is still used as a test model for perturbation theory.
