Pedro Vieira Explained

Pedro Gil Vieira is a Portuguese theoretical physicist who has done significant work in the area of quantum field theory and quantum gravity. One of his most important contributions is the exact solution for the spectrum of a four-dimensional quantum field theory,^[1] finite coupling proposal for polygonal Wilson loops^[2] and three point functions in N=4 Super Yang-Mills.
