This is a set of lecture notes of a course on statistical physics and thermodynamics, which is oriented, to a certain extent, towards electrical engineering students. The main body of the lectures is devoted to statistical physics, whereas…
These lecture notes were prepared for a special topics course in the Department of Statistics at the University of Washington, Seattle. They comprise the first eight chapters of a book currently in progress.
We consider nonequilibrium systems with complex dynamics in stationary states with large fluctuations of intensive quantities (e.g. the temperature, chemical potential, or energy dissipation) on long time scales. Depending on the…
In sustained growth with random dynamics stationary distributions can exist without detailed balance. This suggests thermodynamical behavior in fast growing complex systems. In order to model such phenomena we apply both a discrete and a…
Four lectures on experimental test of the standard model presented at the Advanced Summer Institute on Techniques and Concepts of High Energy Physics.
We studied the statistical distribution of student's performance, which is measured through their marks, in university entrance examination (Vestibular) of UNESP (Universidade Estadual Paulista) with respect to (i) period of study - day vs.…
In this contribution to the proceedings of the Conference on Modern Physics of Compact Stars and Relativistic Gravity in Yerevan, Armenia (September 18-21, 2013), I review recent work attempting to give a fundamental definition to string…
A learning path on radioactivity in the last class of high school is presented. An introduction to radioactivity and nuclear phenomenology is followed by measurements of natural radioactivity. Background and weak sources are monitored for…
Opening talk at Snowmass 2001: a summer study on the future of particle physics.
These are pedagogical lecture notes on hydrodynamic fluctuations in normal relativistic fluids. The lectures discuss correlation functions of conserved densities in thermal equilibrium, interactions of the hydrodynamic modes, an effective…
A unified viewpoint is presented in margin to the ``Work, dissipation and fluctuations in nonequilibrium physics'', Bruxelles 22-25 March, 2006, where the topics were discussed by various authors and it became clear the need that the very…
The quest for historically impactful science and technology provides invaluable insight into the innovation dynamics of human society, yet many studies are limited to qualitative and small-scale approaches. Here, we investigate scientific…
This is the preliminary version of a book on Coulomb and Riesz gases that grew out of a set of notes written for graduate courses taught at the Courant Institute, at the Ecole Normale Sup\'erieure, and at the 2024 Saint-Flour Probability…
This is the text of an introductory lecture delivered at the IHES summer school on motives in July, 2006.
This is a set of four lectures devoted to simple ideas about turbulent transport, a ubiquitous non-equilibrium phenomenon. In the course similar to that given by the author in 2006 in Warwick [45], we discuss lessons which have been learned…
Physics research complements traditional approaches, such as mathematical (stochastic) finance and econometrics in quantitative economics and finance. In the early years of this millennium, we embarked on an interdisciplinary research…
These notes are based on two lectures given at the Twelfth Modave Summer School in Mathematical Physics 2016. The Fronsdal equation and action for both Minkowski and (A)dS backgrounds are discussed in detail.
These are the (somewhat extended) lecture notes for four lectures delivered at the spring school during the thematic programme "Mathematical Perspectives of Gravitation beyond the Vacuum Regime" at ESI Vienna in February 2022.
The appeal of thermodynamics to problems outside physics is undeniable, as is the growing recognition of its apparent universality, yet in the absence of a rigorous formalism divorced from the peculiarities of molecular systems all attempts…
Supersymmetry and Supersymmetric models are reviewed. Lecture given at the KOSEF-JSPS Winter School, Recent Developments in Particle and Nuclear Theory February 21- March 2, 1996,
