About this person
In 1978, together with Eugène Cremmer and Joël Scherk, he constructed eleven-dimensional supergravity. Shortly afterwards, Cremmer and Julia constructed the classical Lagrangian for four-dimensional N=8 supergravity by dimensional reduction from the 11-dimensional theory. Julia also studied spontaneous symmetry breaking and the Higgs mechanism in supergravity
