In honor of S.G.Dani's 65th birthday, we describe some of his many contributions to the theory and applications of dynamical systems on homogeneous spaces, with emphasis on unipotent flows.
This is an expository account of the author's collaboration with Rob Kirby leading up to the theory of trisections of smooth 4-manifolds. This article was written for inclusion in an upcoming issue of Celebratio Mathematica dedicated to Rob…
This is an extended version of my 2018 Heinemann prize lecture describing the work for which I got the prize. The citation is very broad so this describes virtually all my work prior to 1995 and some afterwards. It discusses work in…
This work is a continuation of what was done in a previous paper and strongly connected to the recent work of U. Abel and I. Rasa [arXiv:1707.00127]
In this short paper, the results of the paper by Drab et al. (Eur. Phys. J. E (2022) 45:79) are described in the framework of wave mechanics and mathematical physics based on common understandings. The attention is focused on properties of…
Among the many papers announced here, a recent series of papers of Franklin Tall on selective properties (SPM) is noteworthy.
This is a chapter for a planned collective volume entitled "New spaces in mathematics and physics" (M. Anel, G. Catren Eds.). The first part contains a short formal exposition of supergeometry as it is understood by mathematicians. The…
About 35 years ago Dennis Sullivan proved a precompactness property ("complex bounds") for infinitely renormalizable real quadratic polynomials with bounded combinatorics. We present a simple "soft" proof of this remarkable result.
The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton, "for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks." As noted by the Nobel committee, their work moved…
This is a write up on some sections of convex geometry, functional analysis, optimization, and nonstandard models that attract the author.
I will present here my perception on the status of Deep Inelastic Scattering physics, as I have further developed it during this Workshop, together with a number of comments on the results that have impressed me most during this week. I…
We give a finite dimensional approach to the Chas-Sullivan product on the free loop space of a manifold, orientable or not.
This article is mostly based on a talk I gave at the March 2021 meeting (virtual) of the American Physical Society on the occasion of receiving the Dannie Heineman prize for Mathematical Physics from the American Institute of Physics and…
This dissertation entitled "Fatou's No Wandering Domain Conjecture : Sullivan's Proof" contains a comprehensive study of the Dynamical Partition of the Riemann Sphere and a complementary analysis of the work done by Dennis Sullivan.
In this note we discuss a class of hyperelliptic curves introduced by Abel in a 1826 paper. After some indications of the context in which he introduced them and a description of his main result we give some results on the moduli space of…
We give a short appreciation of Robin Milner's seminal contributions to the theory of concurrency.
In this article, we are interested in the life and scientific work of the Belgian mathematician Paul Mansion. The year 2019 marks the centenary of his passing. We bring some new insights into Paul Mansion's work thanks to his scientific…
This article, dedicated, with admiration to Reuben Hersh, for his forthcoming 90th birthday, argues that mathematics today is not yet a science, but that it is high time that it should become one.
This survey contains the main results in rational homotopy, from the beginning to the most recent ones. It makes the status of the art, gives a short presentation of some areas where rational homotopy has been used, and contains a lot of…
Professor Alan Selman has been a giant in the field of computational complexity for the past forty years. This article is an appreciation, on the occasion of his retirement, of some of the most lovely concepts and results that Alan has…
