In this paper we present a panoramic view of the main scientific articles published by Ettore Majorana, the brightest Italian theoretical physicist of the XX century (actually, Enrico Fermi regarded him as the brighest in the world of his…
In this manuscript we present a brief life history of Ludwig Edward Boltzmann and his achivements. Particularly, we discuss his H-theorem, his work on entropy and statistical interpretation of second-law of thermodynamics. We point out his…
A review is given of some mathematical contributions, ideas and questions concerning liquid crystals.
A categorized bibliography of combinators is given, providing what is believed to be a largely complete coverage of publications from the origination of combinators in 1920 to the present day.
In these shorts notes I want to remembermy relationship with GianCarlo Ghirardi, who was my supervisor in my Master Degree in Physics at the University of Trieste and then he became a very deep and close friend. I don't want to describe in…
In celebration of Professor Ron Doney's 80th birthday, we provide a summary of his academic career and contributions to probability theory, as one of the UK's leading probabilists for over 50 years. A version of this note also serves as an…

A partly autobiographical survey of the development of enumerative and algebraic combinatorics in the 1960's and 1970's.
Arithmetical structures on a graph were introduced by Lorenzini as some intersection matrices that arise in the study of degenerating curves in algebraic geometry. In this article we study these arithmetical structures, in particular we are…
This work discusses the Alon-Tarsi number of line graphs and total graphs. In addition, we also discuss the Alon-Tarsi number of some Erdos-Faber-Lovasz (EFL) graphs.
The history of the quadratic stochastic operators can be traced back to work of S.Bernshtein (1924). During more than 80 years this theory developed and many papers were published. In recent years it has again become of interest in…
