Recent developments in the theory of heavy quarks are reviewed. In the area of heavy quark fragmentation, there has been progress in the study of both pertubative and nonperturbative processes, including the identification of new observable…
We summarize some of the main ideas and results around symplectic field theory, from its early inception up to recent and ongoing developments.
We provide an overview of theories of continuous time computation. These theories allow us to understand both the hardness of questions related to continuous time dynamical systems and the computational power of continuous time analog…
Some of the new developments in the theory of heavy ion collisions are reviewed. Much of the last progress have been triggered by the high energies available at RHIC. In the near future, the LHC will extend the energy reach in heavy ions by…
The theory part of the conference is summarized with certain emphasis on the results concerning the pomeron in soft and hard processes.
Several stimulating open questions in high energy spin physics will be described together with the striking progress recently achieved in this field. In view of the new experimental facilities and the new tools, soon available, I will try…
This is a rendering of a review talk on the state of String Theory, given at the EPS-2003 Conference, intended for a wide audience of experimental and theoretical physicists. It emphasizes general ideas rather than technical aspects.
I give an outline and some discussion of the results presented during the hadronic final states parallel sessions of the meeting, and some opinions about the current state of play and future directions in this area.
What follows is a broad-brush overview of the recent synergistic interactions between mathematics and theoretical physics of quantum field theory and string theory. The discussion is forward-looking, suggesting potentially useful and…
The first two lectures are devoted to describing the basic concepts of scattering theory in a very compressed way. A detailed presentation of the abstract part can be found in \cite{I} and numerous applications in \cite{RS} and \cite{Y2}.…
Presentation for a talk "Two betting strategies that predict all compressible sequences" given at Seventh International Conference on Computability, Complexity and Randomness (CCR 2012)…
Recent developments in the theory and experiment of QCD hard scattering are described.
This is a write-up of a lecture at the level of a physics colloquium. There exists an idealized mathematical formulation of strong interactions which has no free parameters but is known to describe the real world quite accurately. Over the…
Neutrino physics has seen an explosion of activity and new results in the last decade. In this report the current state of the field is summarized, with a particular focus on progress in the last two years. Prospects for the near term…
A review is presented of the different theoretical models proposed to approach consistently the interplay between soft and hard physics, that can now be studied experimentally at HERA for the first time.
We survey a collective achievement of a group of researchers: the PCP Theorems. They give new definitions of the class \np, and imply that computing approximate solutions to many \np-hard problems is itself \np-hard. Techniques developed to…
We will review some of the theoretical progresses that have been in the study of complex systems in physics and of their applications to biology.
I review recent theory developments for hard exclusive and semi-exclusive production of mesons, emphasising the variety of physics issues that can be studied in these processes.
I briefly summarize my personal opinions on the current status of HEP theory and comment on the so-called "non-empiric confirmation."
The 2012 logic blog has focussed on the following: Randomness and computable analysis/ergodic theory; Systematizing algorithmic randomness notions; Traceability; Higher randomness; Calibrating the complexity of equivalence relations from…
