Scenario for restoration of the real part of the elastic scattering amplitude has been proposed for the unitarity saturation case. Dependence of the real part of the elastic scattering amplitude on the transferred momentum $-t$ at the…
Some mathematical errors of the paper commented upon [W.-M. Suen, Phys. Rev. D 40, (1989) 315] are corrected.
This is an extended and corrected version of lecture notes originally written for a one semester course at Leibniz University Hannover. The main aim of the notes is to give an introduction to the mathematical methods used in describing…
Talk given at ICM '98, Berlin, reviewing some of the recent developments in understanding of string theory for a mathematical audience (to appear in Documenta Mathematica).
The following conversation is based in part on a transcript of a 2009 interview funded by Pfizer Global Research-Connecticut, the American Statistical Association and the Department of Statistics at the University of Connecticut-Storrs as…
Memoir on the Sigma invariants and their applications, version 2
This review paper surveys work by Isham, Butterfield, D\"oring, Landsman, Spitters, Heunen, and others on topos-theoretic analyses of quantum theory. It aims to provide a synthesized account of their various approaches.
This contribution pays homage to Aaldert Wapstra, the founder of the Atomic Mass Evaluation (AME) in its present form. Producing an atomic mass table requires detailed evaluation and combination of the various decay and reaction energies as…
Extended abstract for the Proceedings of the Conference ``Modern developments in complex analysis and related topics'' (on the occasion of the 70th birthday of prof.\ dr.\ J. Korevaar), University of Amsterdam, January 27--29, 1993.
These notes provide an introductory exposition of the Seiberg-Witten gauge theory. They collect the material presented in a series of seminars given by the author at the University of Milano.
The present review is based on the lectures that the author had been giving during several years at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich). Being bounded by lecture frames, the selection of the material, by…
This talk summarizes a method for analyzing the properties of any new scalar particle, which is systematic in the sense that it minimizes apriori theoretical assumptions about the properties of the scalar particle, leading to very…
Presented here is a transcription of the lecture notes from Professor Allan N. Kaufman's graduate statistical mechanics course at Berkeley from the 1972-1973 academic year. Part 1 addresses equilibrium statistical mechanics with topics:…
We present the summary of the general discussion on the probabilistic foundations of quantum theory that took place during the round table at the Int. Conf. "Foundations of Probability and Physics", V\"axj\"o, Sweden-2000. It is possible to…
This commentary proposes a framework for understanding the role of statistics in policy-making, regulation, and bureaucratic systems. I introduce the concept of "ex ante policy," describing statistical rules and procedures designed before…
We give a survey of recent result regarding scaling limits of systems from statistical mechanics, as well as the universality of the behaviour of such systems in so-called cross-over regimes. It transpires that some of these universal…
We give an account of the appearance and first developments of the statistical model of atoms proposed by Thomas and Fermi, focusing on the main results achieved by Fermi and his group in Rome. Particular attention is addressed to the…
This is a rendering of a review talk on the state of String Theory, given at the EPS-2003 Conference, intended for a wide audience of experimental and theoretical physicists. It emphasizes general ideas rather than technical aspects.
This is the compilation of our comments submitted to the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series B, to be published within the discussion of the Read Paper of Andrieu, Doucet and Hollenstein.
The legendary 1951 Dyson Lectures on Advanced Quantum Mechanics are finally LaTeXed, with thorough annotations and an index as an added bonus. See the Typist's Afterward preceding the backmatter for an explanation of this new version, and…
