We approach Guido Castelnuovo's intellectual world by focusing on a trilogy of papers published in 1889 and by drawing a few remarks about Castelnuovo's scientific interests and attitudes.
The `strong-coupling' perturbation theory over the inverse interaction constant $1/g$ near the nontrivial solution of Lagrange equation is formulated. The ordinary `week-coupling' perturbation theory over $g$ is described also to compare…
We give an exact analytic solution of the strong coupling limit of the integral equation which was recently proposed to describe the universal scaling function of high spin operators in N = 4 gauge theory. The solution agrees with the…
We review several problems of conventional Grand Unification and some new approaches. In particular, we discuss strongly coupled Grand Unified Theories. Standard Model may emerge as a low energy effective theory of composite particles in…
We show that the recently proposed weak gravity conjecture\cite{AMNV0601} can be extended to a class of scalar field theories. Taking gravity into account, we find an upper bound on the gravity interaction strength, expressed in terms of…

This document collects a written summary of all contributions presented at the workshop "$\alpha_s$(2019): Precision measurements of the strong coupling" held at ECT* (Trento) in Feb. 11--15, 2019. The workshop explored in depth the latest…
We describe the measurement of the strong coupling alpha_s from data on inclusive DIS at high energies. We present new results using the 1994 data from H1, and confirm directly the expected running of alpha_s.
We derive the explicit form, and discuss some properties of the moduli dependent effective potential arising from M-theory compactified on $M_4 \times X\times S^1 / Z_2 $, when one of the boundaries supports a strongly interacting gauge…
We present a determination of the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s(m_Z)$ using inclusive top-quark pair production cross section measurements performed at the LHC and at the Tevatron. Following a procedure first applied by the CMS…
Strongly coupled gauge theories provide an ultra-violet realization of new physics models for physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics arising from composite dynamics. Depending on the gauge group and matter content, they are…
This paper reviews the theory, phenomenology, and observational constraints on the coupling parameters of Einstein-aether gravity, i.e. General Relativity coupled to a dynamical unit timelike vector field. A discussion of open questions…
The additivity of both the entanglement of formation and the classical channel capacity is known to be a consequence of the strong superadditivity conjecture. We show that, conversely, the strong superadditivity conjecture follows from the…
Two recent streams of work suggest that pairwise interactions may be sufficient to capture the complexity of biological systems ranging from protein structure to networks of neurons. In one approach, possible amino acid sequences in a…
Motivations for the center vortex theory of confinement are discussed. In particular, it is noted that the abelian dual Meissner effect, which is the signature of dual superconductivity, cannot adequately describe the confining force at…
We present a first attempt to experimentally extract an effective strong coupling constant that we define to be a low Q2 extension of a previous definition by S. Brodsky et al. following an initial work of G. Grunberg. Using Jefferson Lab…
This paper is concerned with complex macroscopic behaviour arising in many-body systems through the combinations of competitive interactions and disorder, even with simple ingredients at the microscopic level. It attempts to indicate and…
The relation of the strong coupling constant as measured in tau decay to other low energy determinations is considered with special attention to its impact on the question of the possible existence of light gluinos.
The purpose of this contribution is to give an outlook of recent results connected with deuteron physics, with electromagnetic and strong interacting probes at intermediate energy. Special attention will be devoted to polarization…
