The complementary wave and particle character of quantum objects (or quantons) was pointed out by Niels Bohr. This wave-particle duality, in the context of the two-slit experiment, is now described not just as two extreme cases of wave and…
I review electric-magnetic duality from the perspective of extended supergravity theories in four spacetime dimensions
The talk presents the main lines of biography of the prominent physicist and bright personality. Also given is a necessarily brief description of Gribov's scientific work.
We present a brief review of Friedmann's impact on cosmology from a historical and a physical perspective.
It is proposed that the physical universe is an instance of a mathematical structure which possesses a dual structure, and that this dual structure is the collection of all possible knowledge of the physical universe. In turn, the physical…
The classical model of spinning particle is analyzed in details in two versions - with single spinor and two spinors put on the trajectory. Equations of motion of the first version are easily solvable. The system with two spinors becomes…
This is a narrative of the basic theoretical ideas of axisymmetric two-dimensional solitons and of their connection to basic experiments on magnetic compounds. A shortened and edited version appeared in Physics Today.
This is brief and hopefully friendly, with basic notions, a few different perspectives, and references with more information in various directions.
We present a new view for duality in classical electromagnetic theory, based on the physical properties of a dual theory, eliminating the problems of the usual treatment of the subject.
A series of two-particle examples of the Ruijsenaars pq-duality is considered in detail, the dual Hamiltonians are constructed. Of special interest is the case of the sinh-Gordon model.
The aim of this short note is to give counterexamples to two results by D. Y. Gao [5, Th. 16], [4, Th. 2] and to improve a related result by S.-C. Fang, D. Y. Gao, R.-L. Sheu and S.-Y. Wu [1, Th. 3].
A review is given of some classical and quantum aspects of 2+1 dimensional gravity.
The reader surely knows what particles physics is about: finding building blocks of nature that appear elementary at a given time and study their interactions - so why in the world this essay? The problem is how to arrive at a fundamental…
A historically important but little known debate regarding the necessity and meaning of macroscopic superpositions, in particular those containing different gravitational fields, is discussed from a modern perspective.
A personal recollection of events that preceded the construction of Supergravity and of some subsequent developments.
I give a brief review on motivations, basic postulates, and recent developments in Doubly Special Relativity Theory.
A collection of short expository essays by the author on various topics in quantum mechanics, quantum cosmology, and physics in general.
We review the emergence of gravity from gauge theory in the context of AdS/CFT duality. We discuss the evidence for the duality, its lessons for gravitational physics, generalizations, and open questions.
The dyon-oscillator duality presented in this lecture can be treated as a prototype of the Seiberg-Witten duality in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. The key statement declares that in some spatial dimensions the oscillator-like systems…
This invited essay belongs to a series considering highly influential articles published by the International Journal of Theoretical Physics. In this paper, we highlight the physical content and the profound consequences of Richard…
