About this person

Gregory Hugh Wannier (1911-1983) was a Swiss physicist. He developed a complete set of orthogonal functions known as the Wannier functions which became tools of the trade for solid-state theorists. He also had made contributions to ferromagnetic theory via the Ising model. The Kramers-Wannier duality yields the exact location of the critical point for the Ising model on the square lattice.
