In the period 1968 - 1974 I was a graduate student and then a postdoc at Caltech and was involved with the developments of the quark and parton models. Most of this time I worked in close contact with Richard Feynman and thus was present…
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.
The author recollects Sergio Fubini's impact on field theory (radial quantization, merons, conformal quantum mechanics) and on MIT.
We derive a generalized form of Altarelli-Parisi equations to decribe the time evolution of parton distributions in a nuclear medium. In the framework of the leading logarithmic approximation, we obtain a set of coupled integro-…
We discuss the combined effect of QED and QCD corrections to the evolution of parton distributions. We extend the available knowledge of the Altarelli-Parisi splitting functions to one order higher in QED, and provide explicit expressions…
The influence of Alfred Tarski on computer science was indirect but significant in a number of directions and was in certain respects fundamental. Here surveyed is the work of Tarski on the decision procedure for algebra and geometry, the…
I have been asked to discuss the status of QCD. It seems to me that there are three main points to be made about the present status of QCD: $\bullet$ QCD is right, and we can do many beautiful things with it. $\bullet$ There are several…
Life at Caltech with Murray Gell-Mann in the early 1960's is remembered. Our different paths to quarks, leading to different views of their reality, are described.
An obituary for Alexander Gordon which will appear in the Journal of Spectral Theory
I give a brief review of advances in the strong interaction theory. This talk was delivered at the Conference in honor of Murray Gell-Mann's 80th birthday, 24-26 February 2010, Singapore.
I review some of the main results on hard diffraction, in their relation to QCD, and indicate some of the strengths and weaknesses of the arguments. I also make some suggestions for future work.
This article is a multiauthored portrait of Edsger Wybe Dijkstra that consists of testimonials written by several friends, colleagues, and students of his. It provides unique insights into his personality, working style and habits, and his…
I write about H\'ector, his contributions to the early work in the quark model, and a general discussion of quantum statistics
Today's QCD problems, prospects and achievements are reviewed.
Gerhard Hochschild's contribution to the development of mathematics in the XX century is succinctly surveyed. We start with a personal and mathematical biography, and then consider with certain detail his contributions to algebraic groups…
A brief account of interesting moments in the genesis of the quark paradigm is presented.
In this talk, I review progress in experimental QCD in the last year, concentrating on the results and phenomenology of the first year of running of the LHC.
Some topics from recent progresses in lattice QCD are reviewed.
We approach Guido Castelnuovo's intellectual world by focusing on a trilogy of papers published in 1889 and by drawing a few remarks about Castelnuovo's scientific interests and attitudes.
This part of the talk aims to present briefly the biodata and the exceptional career of Paco Yndurain who left us suddenly in June 2008. The scientific part: Light Scalar Mesons in QCD is published in the proceedings of QCD 08 (Montpellier…
