An introduction to the physics of heavy fermion compounds is presented, attempting to highlight the conceptual developments and emphasize the mysteries and open questions that persist in this active field of research.
We review weakly-bound heavy quarkonium systems using effective field theories of QCD. We concentrate on potential Non-Relativistic QCD, which provides with a well founded connection between QCD and descriptions of the heavy quarkonium…
Some of the recent progress in heavy quark physics is reviewed. Special attention is paid to inclusive methods for determining Vub and factorization in nonleptonic B decays. Theoretical predictions for top-antitop production near threshold…
In my ("not a summary") talk at the Hard Probes 2006 conference, I gave "a personal and surely biased view on only a few of the many open questions on quarkonium and electromagnetic probes". Some of the points reported in that talk are…
Recent progress in Lorentz-covariant quantum field theories of the nuclear many-body problem ({\em quantum hadrodynamics}, or QHD) is discussed. The importance of modern perspectives in effective field theory and density functional theory…
I discuss recent work our group has undertaken on effective-field-theory analyses of experimental data pertaining to one- and two-neutron halo nuclei.
We have investigated the spectra of light-heavy quarkonia with the use of a quantum-chromodynamic potential model which is similar to that used earlier for the heavy quarkonia. An essential feature of our treatment is the inclusion of the…
Two complementary approaches to the theory of heavy quarkonia are discussed. The nonrelativistic potential models give amazingly accurate predictions, but lack a theoretical justification. The expansion in powers of $v/c$ is theoretically…
This is the first part of lectures about effective field theories. Decoupling of heavy-particle loops is considered (heavy leptons in QED, heavy quarks in QCD).
I review recent progress in understanding inclusive quarkonium production in hadron collisions. The first part focuses on non-relativistic QCD as an effective theory. I discuss its differences from and similarities with effective theories…
Understanding the properties of atomic nuclei and nuclear dynamics from QCD remains a major challenge. Complementary to first attempts along these lines based on lattice QCD, an effective field theory approach has been developed in the past…
I discuss viscosity corrections to thermal effects on the static QCD potential within hard-thermal loop resummed perturbation theory and for a strongly coupled, large-N_c conformal field theory dual to five-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet gravity.…
In this chapter I discuss the impact of concepts of Quantum Field Theory in modern Condensed Physics. Although the interplay between these two areas is certainly not new, the impact and mutual cross-fertilization has certainly grown…
In this lecture series, I present the recent progress in our understanding of nuclear forces in terms of chiral effective field theory.
The status of string theory is reviewed, and major recent developments - especially those in going beyond perturbation theory in the string theory and quantum field theory frameworks - are discussed. This analysis helps better understand…
Introductory lectures (delivered at TASI, June 1994) on heavy quarks and heavy quark effective field theory. Applications to inclusive semileptonic decays and to interactions with light mesons are covered in detail.
This talk surveys a broad range of applications of quantum field theory, as well as some recent developments. The stress is on the notion of effective field theories. Topics include implications of neutrino mass and a possible small value…

We review the status of theoretical evaluations of heavy quark and heavy quarkonium hadroproduction cross sections and their comparisons with experimental data.
We summarise the perspectives on heavy-quarkonium production at the LHC, both for proton-proton and heavy-ion runs, as emanating from the round table held at the HLPW 2008 Conference. The main topics are: present experimental and…
