We offer an introduction for mathematicians to the univalent foundations of Vladimir Voevodsky, aiming to explain how he chose to encode mathematics in type theory and how the encoding reveals a potentially viable foundation for all of…
This year is 50 anniversary of the first experimental observation of ultracold neutrons (UCN). I present my reminiscences of the first experiment in Dubna, first encounter with F.L. Shapiro -- pioneer of the UCN investigations, and the…
2023 year marks the hundredth birth anniversary of prominent Russian mathematician and thinker Igor Rostislavovich Shafarevich (1923-2017). The article presents a selection of quotations from various works of him, devoted to the future of…
The electric dipole moments (EDMs) of neutron-odd nuclei with even protons are systematically evaluated. We first derive the relation between the EDM and the magnetic moment operators by making use of the core polarization scheme. This…
A recollection of special moments spent with Yakov Borisovich Zeldovich and with the scientists of Soviet Union and abroad.
This presentation goes beyond celebratory narration of the life and scientific achievements of Russia's first modern scientist Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov (1711-1765). Coming from the notion of complexity of sciences, we introduce "a…
In this lecture, prepared for PhD students, basic considerations on neutrino interactions, properties and sites of production are overviewed. The detailed content is as follows: Sect. 1, Weak interactions and neutrinos: Fermi coupling;…
This dialogue took place at V\"axj\"o, 19 November 2001. The main aim of our meeting in V\"axj\"o was to clarify our viewpoints on foundations of quantum mechanics. The most attractive in our discussion was the extreme difference in our…
The history of astronomy in Odessa is briefly discussed with a special emphasis on the scientific school of variable star researches founded by Prof. V.P.Tsesevich.
Leonid Keldysh -- one of the most influential theoretical physicists of the 20th century -- passed away in November 2016. Keldysh is best known for the diagrammatic formulation of real-time (nonequilibrium) Green functions theory and for…
Investigation of the many-body condensed-matter systems allows us to connect the microscopic physics at the atomic energy scale and the macroscopic physics emerging in the low-energy corner. It gives some hints on the mechanisms of the…
This article is a reflection on the mathematical legacy of Professor Petr Simon.
Monograph includes the results of the scientific work of the author for approximately 10 years and it is dedicated to theoretical studies of the structure of light atomic nuclei on the basis of potential cluster model with the forbidden…
This is a pedagogical overview of neutrino physics from the invention of neutrino by Pauli in 1930 to the precise measurement of neutrino mass and mixing parameters via neutrino oscillation experiments in recent years. I have tried to pitch…
This editorial introduces the J. Phys. B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics Special Issue "Atomic and Molecular Processes in the Ultracold Regime, the Chemical Regime and Astrophysics" dedicated to Professor Alexander Dalgarno…
An attempt is made to avoid the difficulty of the infinite reaction of the electron on itself, which occurs in quantum electrodynamics, by introducing difference equations instead of differential equations. This vision allows the difficulty…
