For a long time the significance of charm has been overlooked as an important component of the heavy flavour programme. In recent years the balance has been redressed, and charm studies are quite rightly receiving much more attention. This…
We review the highlights of Neutrino 2004 and recall the main lessons from neutrinos in recent years that had a great impact on particle physics and cosmology.
Index of notation added. Shortening of some section, simplification of some of the arguments, some small added results and strengthening of thm 3.10. Also a significant re-writing of the last section.
This year's SCES has proved exciting in the array of unconventional phenomena discovered both in novel systems, and by the renewed investigation of age-old systems, arguably in the vicinity of QCPs. From heavy fermion systems, to cuprate…
This is a brief survey of recent results related to austere submanifolds, mainly based on the papers [24,25].
A concise overview of the interesting recent developments in kaon phyiscs discussed at KAON 2007 is presented.
This conference covers an extremely broad range of topics and in just a few pages it is impossible to even touch on all the areas which will be discussed. We have chosen to summarise just one area where there has recently been impressive…
We show that large gaps between smooth numbers are infrequent. The key new tool is a novel mean value bound for a special type of Dirichlet polynomial.
Data science has arrived, and computational statistics is its engine. As the scale and complexity of scientific and industrial data grow, the discipline of computational statistics assumes an increasingly central role among the statistical…
The aim of this study was to investigate if participants of Software Carpentry (SC) get more done in less time. We asked 32 questions to assess 24 former participants to analyse if SC gave them the computing skills to accomplish this. Our…
The talk discusses preliminary results of an updated analysis of the strange quark mass from the scalar current QCD sum rules [1]. In particular the role of the scalar form factor which is a main ingredient in the analysis is especially…
Education is very important to Singapore, and the government has continued to invest heavily in our education system to become one of the world-class systems today. A strong foundation of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics…
In this paper some new ways of generalizing perfect numbers are investigated, numerical results are presented and some conjectures are established.
Neutrino physics has seen an explosion of activity and new results in the last decade. In this report the current state of the field is summarized, with a particular focus on progress in the last two years. Prospects for the near term…
In this survey paper we discuss some recent results and related open questions in additive combinatorics, in particular, questions about sumsets in finite abelian groups.
As we approach the turn of the century, the Standard Model is still consistent with all our experimental observations and the path to a more complete picture of the fundamental constituents and their interactions has yet to be clearly…
We prove that the Smith forms of the powers of an integer square matrix behave in an eventually periodic manner. More precisely, if $\mathrm{SF}(M)$ denotes the Smith form of $M \in \Z^{m \times m}$, then for every $A \in \Z^{m \times m}$…
CKM theory has scored novel successes recently, namely vindication of weak universality and its first decisive test in CP studies. While this does not weaken the case for New Physics, one cannot count on the latter to induce large…
Large language models (LLMs) have shown increasing promise in educational settings, yet their mathematical reasoning has been considered evolving. This study evaluates the mathematical capabilities of various LLMs using the Finnish…
We build on the stability-preserving school choice model introduced and studied recently in [MV18]. We settle several of their open problems and we define and solve a couple of new ones.
