Following the initial construction of pure supergravity in 1976, various methods were developed to couple supergravity with supersymmetric matter. This contribution to 'Half a century of supergravity' provides a personal perspective on the…
This paper contains my recollection of the creation and development of the so-called BFKL approach and my ideas about the ways of its further development.
Supergravity has played a very important role in many advances and developments in black hole physics. Here I will review the history of some of them.
A review is given of some classical and quantum aspects of 2+1 dimensional gravity.
We review recent progress in gauging maximal supergravity theories
This article gives a sketch of teachers and colleagues who have had strong influence on my becoming a particle physicist.
In this report I wish to recall how the basic concepts and ingredients of supergravity were formulated by Dmitrij V. Volkov and the present author in 1973-74 under the first investigation of the super-Higgs effect .
I give a brief review on motivations, basic postulates, and recent developments in Doubly Special Relativity Theory.
The idea of gravity as an "emergent" phenomenon has gained popularity in recent years. I discuss some of the obstacles that any such model must overcome in order to agree with the observational underpinnings of general relativity.
We review some material connecting gravity and the quantum potential and provide a few new observations.
The previous version of this article was a first attempt to confront the Dark Gravity theory to cosmological data. However, more recent developments lead to the conclusion that the cosmological principle is probably not valid in Dark…
The theoretical developments that led to supersymmetry, first global and then local, over roughly six years (1970-1976) arose from a convergence of physical insights and mathematical methods stemming from diverse, and sometimes independent,…
A range of issues in the field of hyperon physics is presented, together with an assessment of where important challenges remain.
This is the Preface to the special issue of 'International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics', v.3, N.1 (2006) dedicated to the 50th aniversary of gauge gravitation theory. It addresses the geometry underlying gauge gravitation…
Steven Weinberg productive scientific life teaches us many things, one of the most important of which is the power of his example. This essay contains personal reminiscences and a speculation about gravitational wave propagation based on…
Quantum gravity is known to be mostly a kind of metaphysical speculation. In this brief essay, we try to argue that, although still extremely difficult to reach, observational signatures can in fact be expected. The early universe is an…
I gave a rambling talk about gravity and its many mysteries at Chen-Ning Yang's 85th Birthday Celebration held in November 2007. I don't have any answers.
A story on how an attempt to realize W. Heizenberg idea that the neutrino might be a Goldstone particle had led in its development to the discovery of supergravity action.
Several physical concepts, including the concept of time, are clarified herein by taking into account existing experimental data. In addition, the missing links among these physical concepts are established. This allows us to take another…
