The architecture and capabilities of the computers currently in use for large-scale lattice QCD calculations are described and compared. Based on this present experience, possible future directions are discussed.
A recent essay [1] reminds us of how richly Boltzmann deserves to be admiringly commemorated for the originality of his ideas on the occasion of his 150th birthday. Without any doubt, the scientific community owes Boltzmann a great debt of…
These brief remarks have been prepared in connection with a conference in honor of my thesis advisor, Richard Rochberg.
I offer a brief summary, with commentary, of theoretical contributions to Moriond QCD 2008.
We discuss the effect of QED corrections in the evolution of polarized parton distributions. We solve the corresponding evolution equations exactly to ${\cal O}(\alpha )$ and ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^2)$ in Mellin $N$-space, extending the…
This is a paper based on the invited talk the author gave at the 9th Balkan Physical Union conference. It contains some of the main achievements of lattice QCD simulations followed by a list of Balkan physicists who have contributed to the…
In this lecture, after recalling the basic definitions and facts about the running coupling in QCD, I present a critical discussion of the methods for measuring $\alpha_s$ and select those that appear to me as the most reliably precise
David Mumford made groundbreaking contributions in many fields, including the pure mathematics of algebraic geometry and the applied mathematics of machine learning and artificial intelligence. His work in both fields influenced my career…
Using jagged overpartitions, we give three generalizations of a weighted word version of Capparelli's identity due to Andrews, Alladi, and Gordon and present several corollaries.
In memory of the famous physicist Bruno Pontecorvo, whereof is just occurred the centenary anniversary of the birth and the twentieth anniversary of the death, this paper traces the scientific and human adventure of the italian scientist,…
In recent years there has been much progress on the investigation of the QCD phase diagram with lattice QCD. This talk will focus on the developments in the last few years. Especially the addition of external influences and extended ranges…
QCD under extreme conditions has been studied for a long time, and the chiral limit has been a grey area mostly. In this write-up of my talk, I review some of the recent developments made by the community to unveil various features of QCD…
The figure of Raoul Gatto, who died in 2017, is remembered here, with an illustration of his career and the main results of his research, along with the personal memories of some of those who worked with him.
This a biographical essay about Edsger Wybe Dijkstra.
In this small note I try to summarize some observations about Euclid's remarkable role in mathematics and about the ambient philosophy.
In this paper we give a short biography of Harald Niederreiter and we spotlight some cornerstones from his wide-ranging work. We focus on his results on uniform distribution, algebraic curves, polynomials and quasi-Monte Carlo methods. In…
In this talk, some important QCD effects in Higgs physics, supersymmetry and top physics, as well as the factorization and resummation techniques in QCD are reviewed.
One outlines here in brief how the work of $Gian Carlo Rota$ had influenced my group research and life, starting from the end of the last century up to present time state of $The Internet Gian Carlo Rota Polish Seminar$. This note has been…
We discuss the scientific contributions of Edsger Wybe Dijkstra, his opinions and his legacy.
The discoveries of the heavy quarks are briefly reviewed, with a focus on the role played by Mario Greco in the interpretation of the experimental observations, and on his contributions to heavy quark precision phenomenology.
