It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of Ning Cai, a luminary whose pioneering spirit illuminated the realms of network coding and beyond. On May 25, 2023, at the age of 75, Prof. Cai bid farewell, leaving behind a profound…
A brief summary on the properties of the so called Joint Spectral Radius
Uraltev has given us a deeper understanding of the forces underlying the data from beauty and charm hadrons for the last 35 years and neutron EDM in the future -- in particular about non-perturbative QCD. At the Workshop in the November…
An expository article on Turaev surfaces written for "A Concise Encyclopedia of Knot Theory," to appear.
This is a brief overview of researches of Dmitry Petrovich Zhelobenko (1934--2006). He is the best known for his book "Compact Lie groups and their representations" and for the classification of all irreducible representations of complex…
We relate the notions of spectral gap for unitary representations and subfactors with definability of certain important sets in the corresponding structures. We give several applications of this relationship.
The article is dedicated to recalling the life and mathematics of Louis Nirenberg, a distinguished Canadian mathematician who recently died in New York, where he lived. An emblematic figure of Analysis and Partial Differential Equations in…
I give an account of what it was like to be a PhD student of Abdus Salam and also to take part during the early stages of the development of supersymmetry.
This paper describes some generalities about spectro-interferometry and the role it has played in the last decade for the better understanding of circumstellar matter. I provide a small history of the technique and its origins, and recall…
We give some personal reflections on the person and scientist Lars Brink and on some of his scientific achievements. Our relations to Lars are briefly described in [1] and [2], while the sources relevant for this text are summarised in [3].
The goal of these lecture notes is to present the modern point of view on the classification of Fano threefolds. We tried to offer a self-consistent treatment of the topics covered. \par\medskip\noindent These notes have been published in…
This article summarizes some of the most important scientific contributions of Murray Gell-Mann (1929-2019). (Invited article for Current Science, Indian Academy of Sciences.)

The concept of spectral radius order plays an crucial role in the breakthrough work on equiangular lines due to Jiang, Tidor, Yao, Zhang, and Zhao [Ann. of Math. (2) 194 (2021), no. 3, 729-743]. However, it is difficult to calculate the…
As an introduction to a Special Issue of International Journal of Theoretical and Applied Finance in Honour of the Memory of Thomas Robert Hurd we present a brief synopsis of Tom Hurd's scientific career and a bibliography of his scientific…
As a way to recall and honour Guido Altarelli I contribute to the discussion on the prospect for the future of Particle Physics. I do this because I am sure that Guido would have liked the discussion, even though I am not equally sure that…
The contributions of Lucio Russo to the mathematics of percolation and disordered systems are outlined. The context of his work is explained, and its ongoing impact on current work is described and amplified.
This article describes the life and work of French astrophysicist Evry Schatzman (1920-2010). He was a pioneer in the study of white dwarfs during the 1940s and was one of the proponents of the wave heating theory of the solar corona. He…
