These lecture notes are based on a course given at Institut de Physique Th\'eorique of CEA/Saclay in January/February 2013.
We review some recent theoretical progresses towards the determination of the top-quark couplings beyond the standard model. We briefly introduce the global effective field theory approach to the top-quark production and decay processes,…
There is growing acknowledgement within the software engineering community that a theory of software development is needed to integrate the myriad methodologies that are currently popular, some of which are based on opposing perspectives.…
This writeup summarises some of the highlights from the 2015 Rencontres de Blois, with a compression ratio of about 100:1 relative to the original presentations.
In order to answer questions about top conference publication patterns, citation data is collected and analyzed for several computer science conferences, with focus on computer vision and graphics. Both top and second tier conferences are…

This is a collection of statements gathered on the occasion of the Quantum Physics of Nature meeting in Vienna.
There has been a remarkable increase in work at the interface of computer science and game theory in the past decade. In this article I survey some of the main themes of work in the area, with a focus on the work in computer science. Given…
This introduction to higher category theory is intended to a give the reader an intuition for what $(\infty,1)$-categories are, when they are an appropriate tool, how they fit into the landscape of higher category, how concepts from…
Across biological subdisciplines, the last decade has seen an explosion of high-dimensional datasets, including datasets for cells, species, immune systems, neurons and behaviour. At the ICTS workshop 'Unifying Theories in High-Dimensional…
I review few selected topics on recent theoretical progress in top physics. In particular I will discuss recent progress in the computation of the relationship between the MS-bar and pole top mass, in the NNLO calculation of top…
These notes follow a lecture series at the "Singularities and low dimensional topology" winter school at the R\'enyi Institute in January 2023, with a target audience of graduate students in singularity theory and low-dimensional topology.…
Two items are reproduced herein: my `Outlook' talk, an amended version of which was presented at the 1991 joint Lepton--Photon and EPS Conference in Geneva, and an Open Letter addressed to HEPAP. One is addressed primarily to the European…
This represents a talk given at the International Conference for Basic Science, July 2025. We review the theory of canonical bases of quantum groups and its relation with the theory of total positivity.
This summary talk reviews the LHC 2003 Symposium, focusing on expectations as we prepare to leap over the current energy frontier into new territory. We may learn from what happened in the two most recent examples of leaping into new energy…

I present a personal vision of what is essential in the field of neutrino mass, both from the point of view of what has been achieved and what could lie ahead. In the process, I offer a logical, theoretical and phenomenological rationale…
We introduce an abstract topos-theoretic framework for building Galois-type theories in a variety of different mathematical contexts; such theories are obtained from representations of certain atomic two-valued toposes as toposes of…
