The quantum theory, that we now know, arose in the process of sharp disputes between its creators. One of the results of these disputes was the emergence in recent years of fundamentally new areas of investigation and technology - quantum…
A brief introduction into the properties of dense quark matter is given. Recently proposed gapless color superconducting phases of neutral and beta-equilibrated dense quark matter are discussed. The current status in the field is described,…
A number of group III-metal oxides are studied via density functional theory in order to establish a possibility of nonthermal transition of these materials into a superionic state. Atomic and electronic properties of the materials are…
We develop a theory of a pseudogap state appearing near the superconductor-insulator transition in strongly disordered metals with attractive interaction. We show that such an interaction combined with the fractal nature of the single…
Dynamical supersymmetry breaking is considered in models which admit descriptions in terms of electric, confined, or magnetic degrees of freedom in various limits. In this way, a variety of seemingly different theories which break…
Supersymmetry remains compelling theory over 30 years in spite of lack of its discovery. It could be already near the corner our days, therefore present and upcoming experiments are crucial for constraining or even discovery of the…
We survey the state of the union-closed sets conjecture.
Extensions of nuclear physics to the strange sector are reviewed, covering data and models of Lambda and other hypernuclei, multi-strange matter, and anti-kaon bound states and condensation. Past achievements are highlighted, present…
We propose a new state of matter in which the pairing interactions carve out a gap within the interior of a large Fermi ball, while the exterior surface remains gapless. This defines a system which contains both a superfluid and a normal…
Theoretical predictions on the $B_c$ meson properties are reviewed.
Some formulas and speculations are presented relative to integrable systems and quantum mechanics.
We develop a simple Ginsburg-Landau theory to study all the possible phases and phase transitions in $^{4}He $, analyze the condition for the existence of the supersolid (SS) and map out its global phase diagram from a unified framework. If…
Prospects for SUSY discoveries and measurements at future colliders LHC and ILC are discussed. The problem of reconstructing the underlying theory and SUSY breaking mechanism is also addressed.
In the past decade, more and more charmoniumlike and bottomoniumlike states have been reported in experiments, which have led us to extensive discussions on the underlying structure of these states. In this review paper, we briefly…
Some recent results and problems in the theory of particles containing heavy quarks ar reviewed.
String theory and supersymmetry are theoretical ideas that go beyond the standard model of particle physics and show promise for unifying all forces. After a brief introduction to supersymmetry, we discuss the prospects for its experimental…
We prove that a system of particles in the plane, interacting only with a certain hard-core constraint, undergoes a fluid/solid phase transition.
There has been much recent progress in our understanding of quark matter, culminating in the discovery that if such matter exists in the cores of neutron stars it ought to be in a color superconducting state. This paper explores the impact…
We give a brief overview of the theoretical status of the Transition Distribution Amplitudes and discuss their experimental near future.
