Research funding and reputation in the UK have, for over two decades, been increasingly dependent on a regular peer-review of all UK departments. This is to move to a system more based on bibliometrics. Assessment exercises of this kind…
We provide a generalization of an algebraic linear combination for the trace of certain elliptic modular forms, and through specializing the expression at a suitable pair consisting of an elliptic curve over algebraic number fields and its…
A tribute to the life and work of Pal Revesz. The Hungarian mathematical community lost one of his leading members, when Pal Revesz passed away on 14 of November 2022.
This article is a personal overview of the work of Dennis Sullivan who was awarded the 2022 Abel prize. It was commissioned by the Bulletin of the (Indian) Mathematics Consortium, and it will appear there.
With his research on Aristotle's syllogistic, Jan {\L}ukasiewicz (1934, 1939, 1957, 1963) initiates the branch of logic known as the calculus of names. This field deals with axiomatic systems that analyse various fragments of the logic of…
During the conference on the methods of differential geometry in physics in Warsaw in June 1976, Professor Wheeler gave an interview for the Czechoslovak Journal of Physics A. After Professor Wheeler authorized the English version in…
For any positive integer $q$, it is a question of Baker whether the numbers $L(1, \chi)$, where $\chi$ runs over the non-trivial characters mod $q$, are linearly independent over $\mathbb{Q}$. The question is answered in affirmative for…
Born in Punjab (India) in December 1941, Balraj Singh is not only the single most prolific nuclear data evaluator and disseminator of nuclear structure and decay data with 148 evaluations in Nuclear Data Sheets -- 85 as the first and often…
My thesis describes the life and work of the mathematician Major Percy Alexander MacMahon (1854-1929). His early life as as a soldier in the Royal Artillery and the events which led to him embarking on a career in mathematical research and…
Aging is a multifactorial process and a key factor of morbidity and mortality. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related disorder and a main cause of worldwide disability. Both aging and AD can be characterized by metabolic dysfunction.…
This is an expanded version of my talk given at the International Conference ``Algebra and Number Theory'' dedicated to the 80th anniversary of V. E. Voskresenskii, which was held at the Samara State University in May 2007. The goal is to…
We prove refined space-time regularity for the classical stochastic Allen-Cahn equation with logarithmic potential. This allows to establish a random separation property, i.e. that the trajectories of the solution are strictly separated…
Given a model of the theory of the real field with restricted analytic functions such that its value group has finite archimedean rank we show how one can extend the restricted logarithm to a global logarithm with values in the polynomial…
This is an expanded writeup of a talk given by the second author at Erik Balslev's 75th birthday conference on October 1-2, 2010 at Aarhus University. We summarize our work on Fermi's golden rule and higher order phenomena for hyperbolic…
Work in progress concerning alternative formalizations of arithmetic.
The aim of this work is to develop a study from the perspective of Abstract Algebraic Logic of some bilattice-based logical systems introduced in the nineties by Ofer Arieli and Arnon Avron. The motivation for such an investigation has two…
These twenty-two lectures, with exercises, comprise the extent of what was meant to be a full-year graduate-level course on the strong interactions and QCD, given at Caltech in 1987-88. The course was cut short by the illness that led to…
Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials emerge in recent years as a new platform to host novel electronic, optical or excitonic physics and develop unprecedented nanoelectronic and energy applications. By definition, these materials are…
This article concerns the life and work of Lucjan Emil B\"ottcher (1872-1937), a Polish mathematician. Besides biographical and bibliographical information, it contains a survey of his mathematical achievements in the theory of iteration…
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and long QT syndrome (LQTS) are inherited arrhythmia syndromes associated with sudden cardiac death. Deep learning shows promise for ECG interpretation, but multi-class inherited…
