A biographical profile of the theoretical physicist, Julian Schwinger, and a discussion of "The Memories of Julian" Centennial Celebration (held at Harvard University on February 12, 2018) is presented herein.
We review various combinatorial problems with underlying classical or quantum integrable structures. (Plenary talk given at the International Congress of Mathematical Physics, Aalborg, Denmark, August 10, 2012.)
A very remarkable number of new results in the study of resonances and exclusive channels has been presented at this conference giving fundamental information in the understanding of strong interactions at low energies. The first results…
We analyze the configurations of conics and lines on a special class of Kummer octic surfaces. In particular, we bound the number of conics by $176$ and show that there is a unique surface with $176$ conics, all irreducible: it admits a…
This review covers selected developments in maser theory since the previous meeting, "Cosmic Masers: From Proto-Stars to Black Holes" (Migenes & Reid 2002). Topics included are time variability of fundamental constants, pumping of OH…
This is the English translation of Leonhard Euler's Latin paper "De solidis quorum superficiem in planum explicare licet". Euler explains several methods to obtain equations for developable surfaces. Therefore, this paper might be…
The $17^\text{th}$ edition of the international workshop on top quark physics featured a diverse set of outstanding results. This note is an attempt to summarize the workshop from the experimental perspective and suggest ways forward for…
These are author's recollections of informal discussions on foundations of quantum mechanics, which happened in his presence in 1970-80s
We introduce a mean curvature flow with global term of convex hypersurfaces in the sphere, for which the global term can be chosen to keep any quermassintegral fixed. Then, starting from a strictly convex initial hypersurface, we prove that…
Submanifolds of finite type were introduced by the author during the late 1970s. The first results on this subject had been collected in author's book [Total mean curvature and sub manifolds of finite type, World Scientific, NJ, 1984]. A…
In order to probe nanostructures on a surface we present a microscope based on the quantum recurrence phenomena. A cloud of atoms bounces off an atomic mirror connected to a cantilever and exhibits quantum recurrences. The times at which…
We give a method for constructing Kummer covers with many points over finite fields.
A personal and subjective recollection, concerning mainly Wilson's lectures delivered over the spring of 1972 at Princeton University (summary of a talk at Cornell University on November 16, 2013 at the occasion of the memorial Kenneth G.…
This paper has been withdrawn by the author; its content is properly cantained in the paper arXiv:0706.4447, entitled "Pure motives, mixed motives and extensions of motives associated to singular surfaces", and submitted on June 29, 2007.
In the first part of this paper we give a survey of classical results on Kummer surfaces with Picard number 17 from the point of view of lattice theory. We prove ampleness properties for certain divisors on Kummer surfaces and we use them…
In the early sixties Leonard Parker discovered that the expansion of the universe can create particles out of the vacuum, opening a new and fruitfull field in physics. We give a historical review in the form of an interview that took place…
A disordered quasi-liquid layer of water is thought to cover the ice surface, but many issues, such as its onset temperature, its thickness, or its actual relation to bulk liquid water have been a matter of unsettled controversy for more…
In the first part of this paper I shall discuss the round-about way of how the integrable chiral Potts model was discovered about 30 years ago. As there should be more higher-genus models to be discovered, this might be of interest. In the…
Physical science has changed in the century since Lord Kelvin's celebrated essay on Nineteenth Century Clouds over the Dynamical Theory of Heat and Light, but some things are the same. Analogs in what was happening in physics then and what…
Some important topics from history of neutrino physics over the last fifty years are discussed. History of neutrinos is older, at 4th December 2010 it will be eightieth anniversary of the "neutrino birth". In that day W. Pauli wrote the…
