Augusto Sagnotti (born 1955) is a Professor of Theoretical Physics at Scuola Normale Sagnotti's main contribution to physics is perhaps the analysis of the 2-loop divergences in Einstein's theory of General Relativity.〔M.H. Goroff and A. Sagnotti, "Quantum Gravity At Two Loops", Phys. Lett. B160 (1985) 81,〕〔M.H. Goroff and A. Sagnotti, "The Ultraviolet Behavior Of Einstein Gravity", Nucl. Phys. B266 (1986) 709〕 Moreover, he was the first to propose, in 1987, that the type I string theory can be obtained as an orientifold of type IIB string theory,〔A. Sagnotti, "Open Strings and their Symmetry Groups", IN *CARGESE 1987, PROCEEDINGS, NONPERTURBATIVE QUANTUM FIELD THEORY * 521-528 AND ROME II UNIV. - ROM2F-87-025 (87,REC.MAR.88) 12p ()〕 with 32 half-D9-branes added in the vacuum to cancel various anomalies〔A. Sagnotti, "A Note on the Green-Schwarz mechanism in open string theories", Phys. Lett. B294 (1992) 196 ()〕〔C. Angelantonj and A. Sagnotti, "Open strings", ''Phys. Rept.'' 1 (339 ) (arXiv:hep-th/0204089 )〕 and offered the elucidation of the key properties of orientifold constructions and of Conformal Field Theory on non-orientable surfaces.〔G. Pradisi and A. Sagnotti, "Open String Orbifolds", Phys. Lett. B216 (1989) 59.〕〔M. Bianchi and A. Sagnotti, "On the systematics of open string theories", Phys. Lett. B247 (1990) 517〕〔M. Bianchi, G. Pradisi and A. Sagnotti, "Toroidal compactification and symmetry breaking in open string theories", Nucl. Phys. B376 (1992) 365.〕〔D. Fioravanti, G. Pradisi and A. Sagnotti, "Sewing constraints and nonorientable open strings" , Phys. Lett. B321 (1994) 349 ()〕〔G. Pradisi, A. Sagnotti and Y.S. Stanev, "Completeness conditions for boundary operators in 2-D conformal field theory," Phys. Lett. B381 (1996) 97 ()〕 He also discovered the 10D "0B' string", including both open and closed strings, non supersymmetric but free of tachyons.〔A. Sagnotti, "Some properties of open string theories", in *Palaiseau 1995, Susy 95 * 473-484 ().〕〔A. Sagnotti, "Surprises in open-string perturbation theory", Nucl. Phys. Proc. Suppl. 56B (1997) 332 ()〕 He has worked extensively on higher spins, arriving at a geometric formulation of their free field equations in terms of higher-spin curvatures.〔D. Francia and A. Sagnotti, "Free geometric equations for higher spins", Phys. Lett. B543 (2002) 303〕 More recently, Sagnotti has been working on the proposal of a possible link between "brane supersymmetry breaking",〔S. Sugimoto, "Anomaly cancellations in type I D9-D9-bar system and the USp(32) string theory", Prog. Theor. Phys. 102 (1999) 685 ()〕〔I. Antoniadis, E. Dudas and A. Sagnotti, "Brane supersymmetry breaking", Phys. Lett. B464 (1999) 38 ()〕〔C. Angelantonj, "Comments on open-string orbifolds with a non-vanishing B(ab)" Nucl. Phys. B566 (2000) 126 ()〕〔G. Aldazabal and A.M. Uranga, "Tachyon-free non-supersymmetric type IIB orientifolds via brane-antibrane systems", JHEP 9910 (1999) 024 ()〕 and the onset of the inflationary phase, and on the exploration of some of its possible imprints on the CMB, in particular, the proposal that the low value of the CMB quadrupole and a first peak for l ~5 be a manifestation of the onset of the inflationary phase. == Books == * "String Theory", eds.
