  George Sudarshan at AllExperts
Ennakkal Chandy George Sudarshan (September 16, 1931, Pallam, in Kottayam district of Kerala) is a prominent Indian-American physicist, author, and professor at the University of Texas at Austin.
Sudarshan's most significant work might be his contribution to the field of quantum optics.
A representation was made to the Swedish Academy by several leading physicists that Sudarshan should have been awarded a share of the Prize for the Sudarshan-Glauber representation (or Sudarshan diagonal representation) in quantum optics for which Roy J. Glauber won the prize.

 Jobs, News and Views for All of Higher Education - Inside Higher Ed :: Nobel Doubts
But Sudarshan and a small group of physicists have publicly contended that some of Glauber’s seminal work was not only informed by Sudarshan, but that one of Sudarshan’s breakthroughs has come to be attributed, at least in part, to Glauber.
As in the other letters, Sudarshan said he finds “Glauber-Sudarshan representation” to be a misnomer, and wrote that “literally all subsequent theoretic developments in the field of Quantum Optics make use of” his work.
Sudarshan writes that he believes the committee “did their work diligently and with care,” but adds that it would “distress me and many others if extra scientific considerations were responsible for this decision.” Sudarshan provided letters via e-mail, but did not elaborate on “extra scientific considerations.”

 Seed: First Runner-up
E.C. George Sudarshan, a physics professor at the University of Texas at Austin, is the grumbling giant of 2005.
Sudarshan and a small group of physicists have written letters to the Nobel Committee claiming that the representation is actually more "Sudarshan" than "Glauber." Last Saturday, Ranjit Nair, director of India's Centre for Philosophy and Foundations of Science, sent a letter signed by 10 scientists to the Nobel Committee for Physics.
Sudarshan began the letter-writing fray shortly after the Nobel Prize in physics was announced on October 4th.

Sudarshan’s main point was to draw our attention to the nature of mixing systems, meaning ones in which the trajectory of a particle becomes independent of its original starting point.
Sudarshan’s contribution to the puzzle was to emphasize that we cannot derive irreversibility (time is not real) from reversible dynamics (time is real).
Sudarshan asserted that there are two areas for physics to focus on in the future.

Sudarshan is president of the Board of Advisors of the Centre, a role that Nair described in an e-mail as “purely advisory and not executive.”
Sudarshan subsequently wrote a paper expressing his ideas and sent a preprint to Glauber.
Glauber informed Sudarshan of similar results and asked to be acknowledged in the latter’s paper, while criticizing Sudarshan in his own paper, Nair said.

Last week, when the Nobel Prize for Physics was being handed over to Prof Roy Glauber of Harvard University, Sudarshan, a professor at the department of physics at University of Texas, Austin, could only wonder why he was not in Sweden to receive the prize.
It is professional thievery.” Sudarshan had published his theory in a 1963 issue of Physical Review Letters, a prestigious science journal.
Sudarshan adds: “Glauber’s work was about photon correlations, not on the quantum theory of coherence.

 Roy J. Glauber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Soon after Glauber's Nobel Prize was announced, public controversy was set in motion by E.
George Sudarshan, a physics professor at the University of Texas at Austin, who sent a letter (unpublished) to the New York Times protesting his omission from the list of winners.
For many years before winning his Nobel Prize, Glauber was familiar to audiences of the Ig Nobel Prize ceremonies, where he took a bow each year as "Keeper of the Broom," sweeping the stage clean of the paper airplanes that have traditionally been thrown during the event.

 TACHYONS
Although his equations prohibited the acceleration of particles traveling at subluminal velocities to or beyond c, they did not preclude the existence of particles whose velocities are always greater than or equal to c.
Perhaps the best face to put on Bilaniuk and Sudarshan's remarks is to interpret them as claiming that the causal relation is itself relative to reference frames; that is to say, there is no absolute causal directionality in the same way that there is no absolute simultaneity according to Special Relativity.
The world-line of the tachyon burst simply exists (tenselessly) between space-time points in S and S1, and whether the tachyons are moving from S to S1 or vice versa is observer-dependent, as is also which event is conceived to be the cause and which the effect.
