Paul Frampton was the author of the first book on string theory [2] when it was still known by the name dual resonance models and followed that with a monograph [3] on gauge field theories now approaching its third edition to be published in 2008. Interaction in the subatomic world: world lines of pointlike particles in the Standard Model or a world sheet swept up by closed strings in string theory String theory is a model of fundamental physics whose building blocks are one-dimensional extended objects called strings, rather than the zero-dimensional point...
In theoretical physics, the term dual resonance models refers to the early investigation (1968-1974 or so) on strong interactions of the subject that is currently known as string theory. ...
Gauge theories are a class of physical theories based on the idea that symmetry transformations can be performed locally as well as globally. ...
In formal research he provided the earliest lorentz invariant calculation of vacuum decay in quantum field theory [4], a significant precursor of inflationary cosmology. He and Thomas Kephart first calculated [5] the chiral anomaly of higher dimensional gauge theories thereby making an important contribution towards the later first superstring revolution. A vacuum decay region is a large region that allows the Kaons and their decay products to undergo minimal interaction with matter. ...

In physics, the first superstring revolution is a period of important discoveries in string theory roughly between 1984 and 1986. ...
His research on model building in particle theory includes extensions of the standard model. Two examples are the chiral color model with Sheldon Glashow [6] and the 331 model [7] which respectively predict axigluon and bilepton particles which could show up at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) anticipated to start experiments in 2008. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with model builder. ...

His publications were discussed in La Belle Epoche of High Energy Physics and Cosmology [8] (click on the book cover for photos taken at a festschrift banquet).
In 2007, he and Lauris Baum provided a cyclic model of cosmology [9] which uses dark energy to solve its entropy problem and requires an equation of state which could be verified by the Planck Surveyor satellite expected to begin observations in 2008. The cyclic model is a brane cosmology model of the creation of the universe, derived from the earlier ekpyrotic model. ...
