Modern atomic and nuclear physics took its start in the early part of the twentieth century, to a large extent based upon experimental investigations of radioactive phenomena. Foremost among the pioneers of the new kind of physics was…
In November 2014 Alexander Grothendieck passed away at the age of 86. There is no doubt that he was one of the greatest and most innovative mathematicians of the 20th century. After a bitter childhood, his meteoric ascent started in the…
We commemorate 50 years from A. Proca's death. Proca equation is a relativistic wave equation for a massive spin-1 particle. The weak interaction is transmitted by such kind of vector bosons. Also vector fields are used to describe spin-1…
This is a short tribute to Alexandr Alexandrov (1912--1999).
These notes are based on a lecture given by S. L. Woronowicz at the Institute of Mathematics, Polish Academy of Sciences.
Detlef D\"urr (1951-2021) was a theoretical and mathematical physicist who worked particularly on the foundations of quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and statistical mechanics. This piece is a rather personal look back at him and his…
These notes are written for the book "From the past to the future: the legacy of Lev Lipatov", editors: Jochen Bartels et all, which will be published by WS. I tried to share with you the atmosphere and the flavour of everyday life in…
The Ising model is one of the standard models in statistical physics. Since 1969 more than 12000 publications appeared using this model. In 1996 Ernst Ising celebrated his 96th birthday. Some biographical notes and milestones of the…
April 25, 2003, marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of Andrei Nikolaevich Kolmogorov, the twentieth century's foremost contributor to the mathematical and philosophical foundations of probability. The year 2003 was also the 70th…
English translation of Russian book compiled to honor the memory of Ilya Mikhailovich Kapchinsky - To the 90th Birthday Collection of Memories. The idea for this publication belongs to Nikolai Vladimirovich Lazarev, a close collaborator of…
This short review is dedicated to academician Yakov Borisovich Zeldovich, the science of his epoch and the creation of modern accretion theory.
Talk presented by S.M. Bilenky at the Adriatico Research Conference on "Trends in Collider Spin Physics", ICTP, Trieste, December 1995.
Although he was the recipient of a Nobel Prize and despite the greatness of his accomplishments, Julian Schwinger is almost an unsung hero of our age . He is relatively unknown to the general population, even though in the physics community…
These personal reminiscences of the great Russian mathematician Sergey K. Godunov (1929-2023) arose from a request by his daughter, Ekaterina, to contribute a piece to a book she is writing about her father's life. I was honoured to accept…
This expository paper is a tribute to Ekkehart Kr\"oner's results on the intrinsic non-Riemannian geometrical nature of a single crystal filled with point and/or line defects. A new perspective on this old theory is proposed, intended to…
NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment with two functionally identical liquid scintillator tracking detectors, i.e. the Near Detector (ND) and the Far Detector (FD). One of NOvA's physics goal is to measure neutrino…
This is a set of lecture notes introducing graduate students to the topic of Discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin (DPG) methods.
The unparticle is proposed by Georgi as a conceptual new physics beyond the standard model to describe the low energy sector of a nontrivial scale invariant sector of an effective theory. We consider the neutrino decay in unparticle…
Supernova neutrinos are of considerable importance for ongoing research in astrophysics, nuclear and particle physics. Existing simulations of this complex event are increasingly sophisticated, but the accuracy with which they describe the…
Julian Schwinger's influence on Twentieth Century science is profound and pervasive. Of course, he is most famous for his renormalization theory of quantum electrodynamics, for which he shared the Nobel Prize with Richard Feynman and…
