The recollection of souvenirs on great theoretical physicist, addressed to wide physical audience on the occasion of Bogoliubov centenary. Contains four parts: 1. Personal impressions; 2. Joint work; 3. Bogoliubov cp. Landau and 4.…
This is a brief account of the legacy of Ken Wilson in statistical physics, high energy physics, computing and education.
I recall my interactions with Julian Schwinger, first as a graduate student at Harvard, and then as a postdoc at UCLA, in the period 1968--81, and subsequently. Some aspects of his legacy to physics are discussed.
These are lecture notes of the course in infinity categories given in the fall 2016 at Weizmann Institute.
Two of the major achievements of Stephen Hawking are described in elementary terms. They are his work on the beginning of the universe and his work on the end of black holes. These are perhaps the scientific achievements for which he is…
A recent essay [1] reminds us of how richly Boltzmann deserves to be admiringly commemorated for the originality of his ideas on the occasion of his 150th birthday. Without any doubt, the scientific community owes Boltzmann a great debt of…
This article is dedicated to the 80th birthday of the outstanding Georgian and Soviet nuclear physicist Professor R. I. Jibuti (1934-1992).
In his autobiographic essay written in 1999, ``From logic to computer science and back'', Martin David Davis (3/8/1928--1/1/2023) indicated that he viewed himself as a logician \emph{and} a computer scientist. He expanded the essay in 2016…
In this HYP2025 talk I pay tribute to Tullio Bressani (1940-2024), Bogdan Povh (1932-2024) and Toshimitsu Yamazaki (1934-2025), all of whom made lasting contributions to shaping up Strangeness Nuclear Physics. Yoshinori Akaishi's…
I briefly review transient research with the EVN, with particular emphasis on the science that was (or is being) made possible with the latest real-time e-VLBI developments.
I summarize the apparent relevance of anthropic selection in understanding unnatural features of the Standard Model, and the consequent implications for theory. This topic, pioneered by Weinberg, could make him the last giant of physics.
In this reminiscence I discuss the influence of Henry Eyring and John Barker upon my life and work. Others, especially my family, have been of even greater personal influence. However, these two great and grand men were of tremendous…
I first met Louis Nirenberg in person in 1972 when I became a Courant Instructor. He was already a celebrated mathematician and a suave sophisticated New Yorker, even though he was born in Hamilton, Canada and grew up in Montreal. In this…
Although he was the recipient of a Nobel Prize and despite the greatness of his accomplishments, Julian Schwinger is almost an unsung hero of our age . He is relatively unknown to the general population, even though in the physics community…
This is a memorial article for Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat, who was one of the great pioneers of mathematical general relativity and of partial differential equations. Starting with her 1952 result on local existence of solutions of the vacuum…
A second workshop on small x physics, within the Small x Collaboration, was held in Lund in June 2002 with the aim of over-viewing recent theoretical progress in this area and summarizing the experimental status. This paper is dedicated to…
I present some memories of my Ph.D supervisor and, later, collaborator but always encouraging supporter Prof. G. Lazarides. Some of his contributions to our common and related scientific activities on the phenomenology of MSSM and inflation…
This is a short overview of the origins of distribution theory as well as the life of Sergei Sobolev (1908--1989) and his contribution to the formation of the modern outlook of mathematics.
With the rapid development of COVID-19 around the world, people are requested to maintain "social distance" and "stay at home". In this scenario, extensive social interactions transfer to cyberspace, especially on social media platforms…
This is a small contribution to the (September 15, 2019) Liber Amicorum Richard "Dick" Allen Askey. At the end a positivity conjecture related to the First and Second Borwein Conjectures is offered.
