This entry reviews Rudolf Carnap's philosophical views on the quantum mechanics of his time. It also offers some thoughts on how Carnap might have reacted to some recent developments in the foundations of quantum mechanics.
Among the many topics related to soft QCD in which Bo Andersson gave an important contribution to experiments, this report selects a few for which the final word has not yet been pronounced.
A portrait of Kurt Goedel with emphasis on his work on relativity theory and idealistic philosophy.
Invited talk at European Workshop on the QCD Structure of the Nucleon (QCD-N\'02), Ferrara, Italy, 3--6 Apr 2002
The substantial progress that has been achieved in lattice QCD in the last years is pointed out. I compare the simulation cost and systematic effects of several lattice QCD formulations and discuss a number of topics such as lattice spacing…
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Asymptotic Freedom, celebrated at the QCD Euroconference 98 on Quantum Chromodynamics, Montpellier, July 1998, I described the discovery of Asymptotic Freedom and the emergence of QCD.
This article is not a proof of the Poincar\'{e} conjecture but a discussion of the proof, its context, and some of the people who played a prominent role. It is a personal, anecdotal account. There may be omission or transpositions as these…
Ken Wilson is remembered.
We discuss the role of combinators in the development of the modern conception of computation over the course of the past century. We describe how ideas about formalism and mathematical logic led to the introduction of combinators in 1920…
A short overview of recent developments on resummations in QCD is presented.
The history of the development of Monte Carlo methods to solve the many-body problem in quantum mechanics is presented. The survey starts with the early attempts with the first available computers just after the war and extends until the…
We review some recent results about the computation of mixed QCD-QED corrections beyond the leading order in perturbation theory. We start by considering the effects induced in the Altarelli-Parisi equations and the partonic distributions.…
This letter is in response to a recent review by DeTar and Gottlieb about lattice QCD that has recently appeared in Physics Today. It also is partially motivated by a separate review written by DeGrand. My basic point is that one should be…
Irving John ("Jack") Good (9 December 1916 - 5 April 2009) was one of my greatest heroes and influencers. On Oct. 25, 2009, I gave a twenty-three minute talk with the present title, and this article is an extended transcript of that talk.…
We present a brief overview of fractional analytic QCD, basically following the results recently obtained in Refs. [1,2].
These proceedings discuss some of the highlights of recent research in perturbative QCD as it relates to the LHC. Topics covered include the new generation of Monte Carlo event generators, the revolution that is occurring in NLO…
A short review of the many contributions to hadron physics made by Mario Greco is presented. The review roughly covers his production between 1971 and 1974, just before the advent of QCD, when quark-model ideas, duality principles and…
This thesis is devoted to the study of some aspects of perturbative QCD, and in particular to the development of high-precision techniques for the extraction of physical parameters such as structure functions, parton distributions, and the…
I discuss the applicability of variational methods to the study of non-perturbative aspects of QCD. An illustration of the capabilities of the method pioneered by Kogan and Kovner is given through the analysis of the deconfinement phase…
I sketch the main lines of development of the research in quantum gravity, from the first explorations in the early thirties to nowadays.
