The article is a report on the biography and achievements of Ernest Borisovich Vinberg, an outstanding Russian mathematician, who passed away in Moscow on May 12, 2020. We discuss his contributions to various areas of mathematics such as…
In 2015, Francis Comets shared with me a clever way to relate a model of directed last passage percolation with i.i.d. Gumbel edge weights to a special case of the log-gamma directed polymer model. To my knowledge, he never wrote this down.…
These are lecture notes of the course in infinity categories given in the fall 2016 at Weizmann Institute.
The article describes the biography and manifold contributions to research in mathematics of Mikhail Aleksandrovich Shubin.
We present an English translation of a third 1918 paper by Felix Klein which follows up on his earlier work.
The life of Isaak Yakovlevich Pomeranchuk was short (20.05.1913 -- 14.12.1966). But the impact of his personality and his works on physics and physicists is remarkable. The talk describes the biography of I.Ya. Pomeranchuk, his major…
As the ageing population grows, older adults increasingly rely on wearable devices to monitor chronic conditions. However, conventional health data representations (HDRs) often present accessibility challenges, particularly for critical…
In the past decades, significant improvements have been made on standard-model predictions on kaon decays using lattice quantum chromodynamics. In these proceedings, I review selected works on long-distance contributions to kaon decays and…
This is an expanded version of the Maskit memorial tribute that appeared in the August 2025 issue of the Notices of the AMS.
Published between 1760 and 1770, Bielfeld's writings prove that scholars of the time were acquainted with the concepts of both political arithmetic and German statistik, long before they merged into a new discipline at the beginning the…
We introduce and study three new statistics on the hyperoctahedral group $B_{n}$, and show that they give two generalizations of Carlitz's identity for the descent number and major index over $S_{n}$. This answers a question posed by Foata.
Carl Gustav Hempel (1905-1997) formulated the dilemma that carries his name in an attempt to determine the boundaries of physics. Where does physics go over into metaphysics? The purpose of this contribution is to indicate how a recently…

A generalization of the H\"older inequality is considered. Its relations with a previously obtained improvement of the Cauchy--Schwarz inequality are discussed.
In this lecture I discuss some aspects of MKM, Mathematical Knowledge Management, with particuar emphasis on information storage and information retrieval.
