Item 261 is foundational. 161 Relic Gravitational Waves and Extended Inflation (with M.S. On Absolute Units 3: Absolutely Not Physics Today 59N5 10-11 (2006). Item 131 contains a pioneering use of concepts that later became extremely popular, both in condensed matter and high energy theory, using du- ality transformations to identify theories with apparently quite different coupling constants.

In it, we showed that for three degenerate flavors there is a beautiful preferred pattern of pairing, that opens a gap in all colored channels, modifies the photon in such a way that all elementary excitations have integer charge, and breaks chiral symmetry by a new mechanism.
