B. Vijayalakshmi's studies explored the topics of relativistic equations of higher spin in external electromagnetic and gravitational fields, looking for ways higher spin theories could be constructed. Soon after she worked on spinning particle in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. It was around 1978 when the Association of Research Scholars of the Madras University was formed and was contributed to by B. Vijayalakshmi.[2][3] In 1980 she gave talks at the biannual High Energy Physics Symposium of the Department of Atomic Energy held at the university in Kochi. She was treated with high regard after this and respect for her studies. Although her health deteriorated due to cancer she published five publications on the relativistic wave equations in external fields and completed her requirements for Ph.D., describing large classes of relativistic equations previously unknown to the scientific community. As supersymmetry became more popular her work shifted and she wrote two papers on the topic. For more than two more years B. was studying relativistic equations from different angles.[3][1]
Personal lifeedit
After meeting her husband, and marrying in 1978, B. Vijayalakshmi slowly became more involved in communist left movements as time would allow, with her beliefs shifting into atheism. It was during her studies in quantum mechanics that she was diagnosed with widespread stomach and abdominal cancer, eventually keeping her to a wheelchair, but persisted with her work.[2][3]
Sashi Kumar created a documentary about her life called "Vijayalakshmi: The Story of a Young Woman with Cancer".[4]
