The text of the talk on Workshop on Topology of Algebraic Varieties in honour of Boris Moishezon, Bonn, MPI, Monday July 27, 1998.
This is an introduction of the volume of the journal Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Caroalinae dedicated to the memory of V\v{e}ra Trnkov\'a}.
In this paper dedicated to the memory of Walter Philipp, we formalize the rules of classical$\to$ quantum correspondence and perform a rigorous mathematical analysis of the assumptions in Bell's NO-GO arguments.
We revisit one of Zilber's early results in model-theoretic algebra, viz. definability in Schur's lemma. This takes place in a broader context than the original version from the seventies. The present exposition contains results extracted…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to an error in section 7. There is a new version: arXiv:1011.3352.
These are reminiscences of I.M.Gelfand's mathematical seminar of 1970s-1980s. The essay will appear in the March 2016 issue of Notices of the AMS.
We introduce and study three new statistics on the hyperoctahedral group $B_{n}$, and show that they give two generalizations of Carlitz's identity for the descent number and major index over $S_{n}$. This answers a question posed by Foata.
The major contributions of Richard H. Dalitz to hypernuclear physics, since his first paper in 1955 to his last one in 2005 covering a span of 50 years during which he founded and led the theoretical study of hypernuclei, are reviewed from…
Nuclear $\beta$ decay is a key process to understand the origin of heavy elements in the universe, while the accuracy is far from satisfactory for the predictions of $\beta$-decay half-lives by nuclear models up to date. In this letter, we…
Alzheimer's disease is a human brain disease that affects a significant fraction of the population by causing problems with short-term memory, thinking, spatial orientation and behavior, memory loss and other intellectual abilities. Up to…
Jonathan M. Borwein (1951-2016) was a prolific mathematician whose career spanned several countries (UK, Canada, USA, Australia) and whose many interests included analysis, optimisation, number theory, special functions, experimental…
The purpose of this note is to honour memory of Ubiratan D'Ambrosio, a Brazilian mathematics educator, who passed away on May 12, 2021.
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…
I review and discuss the contributions of Aron Bernstein to the field of chiral dynamics.
Professor Sir Karl Popper (1902-1994) was one of the most influential philosophers of science of the twentieth century, best known for his doctrine of falsifiability. His axiomatic formulation of probability, however, is unknown to current…
These are reminiscences of my interactions with Julian Schwinger from 1968 through 1981 and beyond.
This is a short memoriam celebrating the life and work of the general relativist Joshua N. Goldberg, who passed away in October, 2020.
Willem Rutger van Zwet was born in Leiden, the Netherlands, on March 31, 1934. He received his high school education at the Gymnasium Haganum in The Hague and obtained his Masters degree in Mathematics at the University of Leiden in 1959.…
Best present experimental achievements in double beta decay are presented. Possible progress in this field in the near and far future is discussed.
This paper descibes a new method for deriving incidence rates of a chronic disease from prevalence data. It is based on a new ordinary differential equation, which relates the change in the age-specific prevalence to the agespecific…
