These are lecture notes of the course in infinity categories given in the fall 2016 at Weizmann Institute.
This contribution to the book in honour of J.S. Bell will probably differ from the remaining ones, in particular since only a part of it will be devoted to specific technical arguments. In fact I have considered appropriate to share with…
This paper explores special conditions on the starting value of a Collatz sequence which imply that the Collatz conjecture is true. This is the result of the collaboration of a retired mathematics professor (Koelzer) and a retired physics…
These are extended notes of a lecture about the papers 1207.1883 by Esnault-Levine-Wittenberg and 1308.3024 by Wittenberg. The aim is to define the Esnault-Levine-Wittenberg indices, establish their basic properties amd to pose several…
This is the editors' preface to the volume "Operator theory and its applications, in memory of V. B. Lidskii (1924-2008)". The volume was published by the American Mathematical Society in the series AMS Translations, series 2, volume 231…
Some time ago we came across a rather unknown and, in our opinion, intriguing paper by Otto R\"ossler on autocatalysis. That the paper is written in German might be one reason for having spent 50 years below the radar despite being of…
Two recent articles by Norman H. March that contain misleading statements concerning 3D Ising models, partly based on earlier erroneous work of Z.D. Zhang, are addressed.
Seventy-five years ago, Bernardo Dessau passed away. He had been the sole professor of Physics at the University of Perugia for thirty years. With this brief contribution we intend to repay a debt of gratitude, first of all because his…
Knowledge of a disease includes information of various aspects of the disease, such as signs and symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. This disease knowledge is critical for many health-related and biomedical tasks, including consumer health…
These are the lecture notes for the introductory course on Whitehead, Reidemeister and Ray-Singer torsions, given by the author at the University of Zurich in Spring semester 2014.
The editors have dedicated this special issue on superconducting materials "to Ted Geballe in honor of his numerous seminal contributions to the field of superconducting materials over more than 60 years, on the year of his 95th birthday."…
The rise of Alzheimers Disease worldwide has prompted a search for efficient tools which can be used to predict deterioration in cognitive decline leading to dementia. In this paper, we explore the potential of survival machine learning as…
Professor A. K. Raychaudhuri suddenly passed away on 18th June 2005. I have attempted to give a glimpse of his life and work, and more specifically his role as a great teacher and inspiring force to three generations of students of the…
We characterize, by easily verifiable properties, abstract ternary relations isomorphic to the causal betweenness introduced by Hans Reichenbach.
In the gallery of famous people tracing their origins to Wroc{\l}aw, few are as controversial, as complex, or as tragic as Fritz Haber, ever more distant in the flux of time, yet still stirring emotions. He developed a method for the direct…
We represent three generations of students: Bob Glassey, Walter's student finishing at Brown in 1972, Jack Schaeffer, Bob's student finishing at Indiana University in 1983, and Steve Pankavich, Jack's student finishing at Carnegie Mellon in…
The research activities in collaboration with Enzo Flaminio are summarized and discussed.
The author reports his recollections of what transpired. These may or may not prove consistent with the contributions to be published in the proceedings. Corrections are welcome.
We summarize theoretical predictions on the decays of B_c meson.
This paper descibes a new method of calculating the mean duration and mean age of onset of a chronic disease from incidence and mortality rates. It is based on an ordinary differential equation resulting from a simple compartment model.…
