We briefly recount the long friendship that developed between Ludwig and us (Moshe Flato and I), since we first met at ICM 1966 in Moscow. That friendship extended to his school and family, and persists to this day. Its strong personal…
Gabor analysis which can be traced back to Dennis Gabor's influential 1946 paper \emph{Theory of communication}, is concerned with both the theory and the applications of the approximation properties of sets of time and frequency shifts of…
There have been extensive developments recently in modern nonparametric inference and modeling. Nonparametric and semi-parametric methods are especially useful with large amounts of data that are now routinely collected in many areas of…
The article is a tribute to Hermann Minkowski leading from his geometry of numbers to an attempt at using Finsler geometry for a break of Lorentz invariance.
This is a short introduction to affine and convex spaces, written especially for physics students. It summarizes different elementary presentations available in the mathematical literature, and blends analytic- and geometric-flavoured…
This text is an appendix to our work "On the growth of Kronecker coefficients", arXiv:1607.02887. Here, we provide some complementary theorems, remarks, and calculations that for the sake of space are not going to appear into the final…
In this essay, I discuss an interdisciplinary science that is just blossoming: that of geo-neutrinos. I begin with a couple of episodes from the history of thought, showing the deep roots of Earth science and its many connections with…
This paper begins with a short presentation of the Bianchi IX or ``Mixmaster'' cosmological model, and some ways of writing the Einstein equations for it. There is then an interlude describing how I came to a study of this model, and then a…
Neutrino oscillation phenomenology is briefly reviewed, and impact of the late Professor Masatoshi Koshiba on research on neutrino oscillation is discussed from the viewpoint of phenomenology.
In the article we give an appreciation of Edward Nelson's multifaceted contribution to mathematics, and particularly to foundational theories of infinitesimals.
