In this copy of a manuscript, Duncan Haldane presents some of the ideas that laid the foundation for his theories that were awarded the Nobel Prize. The article was never published, however, as some of the manuscript’s reviewers felt that the content ran counter to basic principles of physics. When Haldane won the Nobel Prize and was contemplating a gift to the Nobel Prize Museum’s collections, he happened to think of this article. He no longer had a copy of the manuscript himself, but it turned out that a colleague had kept one.
Duncan Haldane donated the manuscript copy to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2016.
