Contribution to a book entitled "Extraterrestrial seismology".
A physical introduction to the basics of chiral dynamics is presented. Emphasis is placed on experimental tests which have generally demonstrated a strong confirmation of the predictions of chiral perturbation theory, a low energy effective…
This article provides a (semi-)popular introduction to the phenomenology of neutrino masses.
A range of issues in the field of hyperon physics is presented, together with an assessment of where important challenges remain.
A critical look at the history of relativistic dynamics.
A short overview of basics aspects of hadronic interaction of the photon is presented.
Recent progress in the theory of solar and stellar dynamos is reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on the mean-field theory which tries to describe the collective behavior of the magnetic field. In order to understand solar and stellar…
The paper discusses the solution of a simple kinetic equation of the type used for the computation of the change of the chemical composition in stars like the Sun. Starting from the standard form of the kinetic equation it is generalized to…
In this short review on stellar convection dynamics I address the following, currently very topical, issues: (1) the surface effects of the Reynolds stresses and nonadiabaticity on solar-like pulsation frequencies, and (2) oscillation mode…
This brief note, written for non-specialists, aims at drawing an introductive overview of the multiverse issue.
The interdependence of microscopic (atomic) and macroscopic (hydrodynamic) processes inside stars and their consequences for stellar structure and evolution were recognized by Jean-Paul Zahn several decades ago. He was a pioneer in that…
A collection of short expository essays by the author on various topics in quantum mechanics, quantum cosmology, and physics in general.
In these notes we consider the mathematical aspects of the functional mechanics proposed and developed by I. V. Volovich.
We investigate numerically the kinematic dynamo induced by the superposition of two helical waves in a periodic box as a simplified model to understand the dynamo action in astronomical bodies. The effects of magnetic Reynolds number,…
A brief sketch is made of the present observational status of neutrino physics, with emphasis on the hints that follow from solar and atmospheric neutrino observations, as well as cosmological data on the amplitude of primordial density…
The article is the translation of authors paper, printed earlier in inaccessible edition and devoted to the formulation of basic concepts of dynamic description of particles' statistic ensemble in a gravitational field. Later on, the…
We present a partial survey on normal numbers, including Keane's contributions, and with recent developments in different directions.
Ernest Henley's contributions to understanding isospin symmetry and the experimental and theoretical progress that followed are reviewed. Many experimentalists and theorists worked to bring Ernest's early vision of the subject to fruition.…
In this contribution the role of strangeness in astrophysics is discussed and, more precisely, strange hadronic matter in the interior of neutron stars. A special attention is payed to certain phenomena involving strange hadronic matter,…
I discuss the development and resolution of the solar neutrino problem, as well as opportunities now open to us to extend our knowledge of main-sequence stellar evolution and neutrino astrophysics.
