During the 1920s and 1930s, Italian physicists established strong relationships with scientists from other European countries and the United States. The career of Bruno Rossi, a leading personality in the study of cosmic rays and an Italian…
Talk given at Harvard, January 1999, published in the Proceedings of the Harvard Winter School on mirror symmetry, vector bundles and lagrangian cycles, 1999, International Press. Surveys the joint work [ST, KS] with Paul Seidel and Mikhail…
International collaboration as measured by co-authorship relations on refereed papers grew linearly from 1990 to 2005 in terms of the number of papers, but exponentially in terms of the number of international addresses. This confirms…
The interpretation of quantum mechanics (or, for that matter, of any physical theory) consists in answering the question: How can the world be for the theory to be true? That question is especially pressing in the case of the long-distance…
The topic of this conference is 'South-South and North-South Collaboration in Science and Technology', which is addressed in this contribution in the context of basic research in high energy physics (HEP). The question whether developing…
The RHIC facility at BNL will be operating soon, part of the year, as a polarized proton-proton collider. This will allow the undertaking of a vast spin physics programme, mainly by the two large detectors PHENIX and STAR. We review some…

This paper is the textual material accompanying the 2017 Bernhard Haurwitz Memorial Lecture, delivered by the author on 28 June 2017, at a joint session of the American Meteorological Society's 21st Conference on Atmospheric and Oceanic…
The global and local spin polarization measurements of $\Lambda$ ($\bar{\Lambda}$) hyperons by STAR and ALICE Collaborations open up an immense interest in investigating the spin polarization dynamics in heavy-ion collisions. Recent studies…
We calculate the inclusive production of a polarized $\Lambda$ or $\bar{\Lambda}$ hyperon from the single longitudinally polarized proton and proton ($pp$) collision at RHIC. By comparing the data reported by the STAR Collaboration, we find…
This is lecture notes of a talk I gave at the Morningside Center of Mathematics on June 20, 2006. In this talk, I survey on Poincare and geometrization conjecture.
This paper serves as an extended road map for our long-term project "Mixed Random-quasiperiodic Cocycles" [arXiv:2201.04745, arXiv:2109.09544, arXiv:2210.16908, 6, 7] with Pedro Duarte and Silvius Klein. Despite exhibiting totally different…
We discuss Lambda polarization and single-spin left-right asymmetry in diffractive hadron-hadron scattering at high energies. We show that the physical picture proposed in a recent Letter is consistent with the experimental observation that…
There has never been a more exciting time in the overlapping areas of nuclear physics, particle physics and relativistic astrophysics than today. Orbiting observatories such as the Hubble Space Telescope, Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE),…
In this note my personal point of view on the question brought up for a discussion at the Conference "Diffraction 2008" by Andre Martin has been presented.
Since the first evidence of a global polarization of $\Lambda$ hyperons in relativistic nuclear collisions in 2017, spin has opened a new window in the field, both at experimental and theoretical level, and an exciting perspective. The…
Status of hard/perturbative QCD phenomena is briefly reviewed. Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect is discussed as a means for establishing links between particle and nuclear high-energy physics.

The intermediate stage of the development of general relativity is inseparable of Marcel Grossmann's mathematical assistance. Einstein acknowledges Grossmann's help during 1912-1914 to the development of general relativity. In fact, as with…
