Short review on advanced superconducting circuits and devices.
We give a critical overview of various attempts to describe gravity as an emergent phenomenon, starting from examples of condensed matter physics, to arrive to more sophisticated pregeometric models. The common line of thought is to view…
Un choix personnel a ete fait d'evenements memorables du programme de physique realise a Saturne-2 pendant les derniers 20 ans.
We summarise some aspects of experiments currently being built or planned, and indulge in wild speculation about possibilities on the more distant horizon.
I describe several conceptual aspects of a particular paradigm which treats the field equations of gravity as emergent. These aspects are related to the features of classical gravitational theories which defy explanation within the…
In this brief note, we would like to point out that large-scale structures like galaxies and superclusters would arise quite naturally in the universe.
General lectures on quantum gravity.
I will briefly review of some highlights of the SuperB physics programme, the status of the accelerator and detector studies, and the future plans.
This is a preface to Fields, Gravity, Strings and Beyond, a special issue collection of articles published in J. Phys. A in memory of Stanley Deser.
I review the conceptual, algebraical, and geometrical structure of Doubly Special Relativity. I also speculate about the possible relevance of DSR for quantum gravity phenomenology.
This is the foreword to the book we edited on the origins and early development of supersymmetry, which has been just issued by World Scientific. This book presents a view on the discovery of supersymmetry and pioneering investigations…
I review the assumptions and observations that motivate the concept of the extragalactic cosmic background radiation, and the issues of energy accounts and star formation history as a function of galaxy morphological type that figure in the…
I have been asked to write brief, gentle introduction to the basic idea behind the field of "quantum gravity" in 1500 words or less. Doing so appears to be almost as great a challenge as coming up with a consistent theory of quantum…
I discuss some interesting classroom demonstrations of diamagnetism and how this effect can produce levitation. The possibilities for hands-on demonstrations of diamagnetic and superconducting levitation are discussed. To conclude I discuss…
Highly personalysed and subjective review of studies of the equilibrium, pulsations and stability of stars with the first-order phase transition.
We discuss the questions related to dark energy in the Universe. We note that in spite of the effect of dark energy, large-scale structure is still being generated in the Universe and this will continue for about ten billion years. We also…
I review here some motivations to consider a theory of gravity based on independent metric and connection, and its status as a quantum theory.
I discuss the early developments of string theory with respect to its connection with gauge theory and general relativity from my own perspective. The period covered is mainly from 1969 to 1974, during which I became involved in research on…
A brief review is presented of motivations and results in one-loop supergravity on manifolds with boundary, whose consideration is suggested by quantum cosmology.
A short review of phenomenological and experimental aspects of extra spatial dimensions at colliders is presented.
