Italian master's thesis in Computer Science. It is an overview of the standard tecniques developed in the field of Proof Theory, ending with some results in the new field of Deep Inference, plus an original contribution trying to relate…
We analyze in great detail the mathematical derivations from the article "Doppler signature in electrodynamic retarded potentials" by Giovanni Perosa, Simone Di Mitri, William A. Barletta, and Fulvio Parmigiani, published in Physics Open…
This review is devoted to strings and branes. Firstly, perturbative string theory is introduced. The appearance of various types of branes is discussed. These include orbifold fixed planes, D-branes and orientifold planes. The connection to…
Open-string theories may be related to suitable models of oriented closed strings. The resulting construction of ``open descendants'' is illustrated in a few simple cases that exhibit some of its key features.
This paper summarizes several developments in string-derived (Minimal Supersymmetric) Standard Models. Part one reviews the first string model containing solely the three generations of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model and a single…
A personal view is given of the development of string theory out of dual models, including the analysis of the structure of the physical states and the proof of the No-Ghost Theorem, the quantization of the relativistic string, and the…
This is a Reply to the Comment of S.R. White and D.J. Scalapino [cond-mat/9907243] on our recent paper ``Stripes and the t-J Model'' [Physical Review Letters 83, 132 (1999) and cond-mat/9812022].
This is an editorial summary of the contents of a Book comprising a set of Articles by acknowledged experts dealing with the impact of Field Theory on major areas of physics (from elementary particles through condensed matter to strings),…
We transform the two-matrix model, studied by P.Di Francesco and al., into a normal one-matrix model by identifying a ``formal'' integral used by these authors as a proper integral. We show also, using their method, that the results…
This contribution, aimed mostly at experimental particle physicists, reviews some of the main ideas and results of String Theory in a non-technical language. It originates from the talks presented by the authors at the Electro-Weak session…
Proof Theory and Type Theory are two branches of mathematical logic and theoretical computer science that explore the structure of mathematical proofs and the foundations of computation. Both are crucial for understanding formal systems,…
If the results of the first LHC run are not betraying us, many decades of particle physics are culminating in a complete and consistent theory for all non-gravitational physics: the Standard Model. But despite this monumental achievement…
PhD thesis TU-Vienna, May 1994. Table of Contents: 1. Introduction, 2. Poisson Structure Induced Two Dimensional Field Theories, 3. Models of Gravity in 1+1 Dimensions
Over the last few years, string theory has changed profoundly. Most importantly, novel duality relations have emerged which involve gauge theories of brane excitations on one side and various closed string backgrounds on the other. In this…
Rejoinder to ``Microarrays, Empirical Bayes and the Two-Groups Model'' [arXiv:0808.0572]
In this article I describe the recently-conjectured field-string duality which suggests a class of nonsupersymmetric gauge theories which are conformal (CGT) to leading order of 1/N and some of which may be conformal for finite N. If the…
We review cosmological inflation and its realization in quantum field theory and in string theory. This material is a portion of a book, also entitled "Inflation and String Theory", to be published by Cambridge University Press.

This review summarizes the recent developments in topological string theory from the author's perspective, mostly focused on aspects of research in which the author is involved. After a brief overview of the theory, we discuss two aspects…
In this thesis my papers hep-th/0104190, hep-th/0310214, hep-th/0405072 and hep-th/0406065 are put into context. The thesis is mainly focused on noncommutative field theory and string theory, so results in the papers that are not related to…
