This is a brief account of the legacy of Ken Wilson in statistical physics, high energy physics, computing and education.
In this paper the contribution of Bruno Ponrecoevo will be illustrated Special emphasis will be given to oscillations physics that he was the first to propose.
An introduction describing Walter Greiner's scientific life for the topical volume to be published by EPJA
Gravitation has posed a puzzle and a problem for many decades. Attempts to unify it with other fundamental interactions have failed. These problems and puzzles have been underscored by the likes of Witten and Weinberg. We survey this and…
Detlef D\"urr (1951-2021) was a theoretical and mathematical physicist who worked particularly on the foundations of quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and statistical mechanics. This piece is a rather personal look back at him and his…
We shortly review the state of art and perspectives of Extended Theories of Gravity.
This article was written on the occasion of Hans Grauert receiving the Cantor Medallion of the Deutsche Mathematische Vereinigung. It is a brief overview of his mathematical contributions and attempts to convey the author's great respect…
The properties of the W boson are reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on recent measurements from the LEP2 and Tevatron experiments.
We have compiled some sections of works by L. Zamick and collaborators which we hope will be of interest to the reader.
We briefly report on a study intended to help shape the future of neutrino physics -- an area to which Professor Gustavo Branco has made distinguished contributions.
The full story of the Stern-Gerlach experiment and its reception, interpretation and final understanding has many unexpected surprises. Here, we review the history and the context of the proposal, the experiment, and the subsequent story of…
We introduce the concept of protometric and present some properties of protometrics.
This article provides information on the life and work of the number theorist Arnold Scholz. It is an English translation with modifications of an introduction to the correspondence of Hasse, Scholz and Taussky published in 2016.
Julian Schwinger (1918--1994), founder of renormalized quantum electrodynamics, was arguably the leading theoretical physicist of the second half of the 20th century. Thus it is not surprising that he made contributions to gravity theory as…
This paper contains a review of the theory and practice of gravitomagnetism, with particular attention to the different and numerous proposals which have been put forward to experimentally or observationally verify its effects. The basics…
Einstein's contributions to statistical mechanics and quantum theory are reviewed. We also provide a detailed discussion of his thesis on suspensions that led to a good value of the Avogadro number.
The classical and the quantum motion of a massive body in the rotating tube is considered. Photon is included. The spin motion described by the Bargmann-Michel-Telegdi equation is considered in the rotation tube and rotating system.
Brief recollections by the author about how he contributed to the production of the Feynman Lectures in Physics
We provide an introduction to selected recent advances in the mathematical understanding of Einstein's theory of gravitation.
This is a short review of the heritage of Klein's Erlangen program in modern physics.
