This is about the mathematics and life of Donald Gordon Higman, 1928-2006. He did important work in representation theory of groups and algebras and in algebraic combinatorics. Charles C. Sims and Donald Higman discovered and constructed…
The central value and theoretical uncertainties on the cross section ratio sigma_W/sigma_Z at the Tevatron are evaluated using the NNLO calculations and the latest MSTW PDFs. The partial width, total width and branching ratios of the W…
Over half century ago Carl Brans participated in the construction of a viable deformation of the Einstein gravity theory. Their suggestion involves expanding the tensor-based theory by a scalar field. But experimental support has not…
We present an overview of some significant results of Thurston and their impact on mathematics. The final version of this paper will appear as Chapter 1 of the book "In the tradition of Thurston: Geometry and topology", edited by K. Ohshika…
This is a mainly expository article honoring my recently deceased friend and collaborator Krzysztof Galicki who died after a tragic hiking accident. I give a review of our recent work in Sasakian geometry. A few new results are also…
Jonathan M. Borwein (1951-2016) was a prolific mathematician whose career spanned several countries (UK, Canada, USA, Australia) and whose many interests included analysis, optimisation, number theory, special functions, experimental…
This is the first version of a submission made to vixra back in August 2009. It is concerned with the exploration of various ideas due to Roy Frieden of the University of Arizona in his manuscript "Physics from Fisher Information", which…
These notes are based on an introductory minicourse on Poisson geometry given at CRM, Barcelona, in July 2022. They mostly contain foundational material, including motivating questions and key examples of Poisson structures, and highlight…
Freeman J. Dyson, a brilliant theoretical physicist and a gifted mathematician, passed away on 28 February 2020 at the age of 96. A vignette of his outstanding contributions to physical sciences, ranging from the subject of quantum…
We describe the development of the mathematics of Helmut R. Salzmann (3. 11. 1930 -- 8. 3. 2022) and the main difficulties he was facing, documenting his lifelong productivity and his far reaching influence. We include a comprehensive…

This is a biographical sketch and tribute to Abraham Robinson (1918-1974) on the 95th anniversary of his birth with a short discussion of the place of nonstandard analysis in the present-day mathematics.
We review some of W.N. Bailey's work on hypergeometric functions that found solid applications in number theory. The text is complemented by Bailey's letters to Freeman Dyson from the 1940s.
The article is a report on the biography and achievements of Ernest Borisovich Vinberg, an outstanding Russian mathematician, who passed away in Moscow on May 12, 2020. We discuss his contributions to various areas of mathematics such as…
