The present status of superstring phenomenology is briefly discussed.

I survey results about, and recent applications of, Salem numbers.

This is a survey of results on random group presentations, and on random subgroups of certain fixed groups. Being a survey, this paper does not contain new results, but it offers a synthetic view of a part of this very active field of…

This short note contains some definitions and formulas about the power of an observable in statistically separating different classes of events.

Comment on ``Lancaster Probabilities and Gibbs Sampling'' [arXiv:0808.3852]

We place geo-targeted advertisements on Facebook to encourage users to fill out an online survey, following a process known as river sampling. We discovered a large number and variety of users also came to our survey through snowball…

Dynamical sampling refers to a class of problems in which space-time samples are taken from a signal evolving under an underlying dynamical system. The goal is to use these samples to recover relevant information about the system, such as…

The past two decades have witnessed a surge of new research in the analysis of randomized experiments. The emergence of this literature may seem surprising given the widespread use and long history of experiments as the "gold standard" in…

We propose two possible definitions for the notion of a sampling sequence (or set) for Hardy spaces of the disk. The first one is inspired by recent work of Bruna, Nicolau, and \O yma about interpolating sequences in the same spaces, and it…

We summarize some of the main ideas and results around symplectic field theory, from its early inception up to recent and ongoing developments.

In this paper we consider the notions of binomial thinning, binomial mixing, their generalizations, certain interplay between them, associated limit theorems and provide various examples.

This is a survey on Kawaguchi-Silverman conjecture.

This note is the written version of conversations with young colleagues on unofficial history, general ideas, unexpected facts and open problems concerning tilting theory.

This paper contains my recollection of the creation and development of the so-called BFKL approach and my ideas about the ways of its further development.

This paper introduces to readers the new concept and methodology of confidence distribution and the modern-day distributional inference in statistics. This discussion should be of interest to people who would like to go into the depth of…

This work is devoted to a certain class of probabilistic snapshots for elements of the observed data stream. We show you how one can control their probabilistic properties and we show some potential applications. Our solution can be used to…

We review the state approach to toss juggling and extend the approach to spin juggling, a new concept. We give connections to current research on random juggling and describe a professional-level juggling performance that further…

Ball lightning is a very rarely observed phenomenon that makes it extremely difficult to characterize scientifically. Eye-witness accounts of ball lightning that describe many features in common have been variously recorded for centuries.…

As suggested by the title, this paper is a survey of recent results and questions on the collection of computably enumerable sets under inclusion. This is not a broad survey but one focused on the author's and a few others' current…
