The theoretical physicist and mathematician Aristophanes Dimakis passed away on July 8, 2021, at the age of 68, in Athens, Greece. We briefly review his life, career and scientific achievements.
While the migration of scientists from the Soviet Union to the West occurred at a modest pace during the 1970s and 1980s, the dissolution of the USSR in 1991 and the ensuing economic and social hardships precipitated a massive exodus that…
Some recent progress and a personal selection of open problems in heavy quarkonium physics (spectroscopy, decay and production) inspired by the activity of the Quarkonium Working Group are reviewed.
This paper was written as a tribute to Mario Petrich, a major figure in the history of semigroup theory. Publication is posthumous in view of his recent death.
Personal view of author on goals and content of Mathematical Physics.
In this written version of a pre-dinner-speech at the workshop "The Nature of Gravity" at ISSI I illustrate Pauli's science primarily with material that has not formally been published by him, but was communicated in detailed letters to…
Lectures presented at the VI Mexican School of Particles and Fields, Villahermosa, 3-7 October, 1994. Contents: 1. Introduction 2. The Symmetry Group Approach to the Quantum Mechanics of Identical Particles 3. How Come Anyons? 4. The…
This is just a note for \cite[Chapter$3{1/2}_+$]{gromov}. Maybe this note is obvious for a reader who knows metric geometry. I wish that someone study further in this direction.
Reply to the comment by D.N. Aristov and A.G. Yashenkin (cond-mat/9612245) on PRL by Balatsky and Salkola (Phys. Rev. Lett., V76, 2386, (1996), cond-mat/9602034).
We propose to follow the itinerary of Claude Chevalley during the last twenty years of his life, through the words of Jacques Roubaud, Denis Guedj and Alexander Grothendieck. Our perspective is that of their testimonies filled with…
On June 2, 2012 it would have been the eighty fifth birthday of Edwald Abramovitch Zavadskii (1927-2005), corresponding member of the National Academy of Sciences, brilliant experimental physicist and a person with a very uncommon and…
An obituary of J.R. Dorfman. The focus is on his scientific career and on his many important publications.
Physicists and physics students have been studied with respect to the variation in ways they expound on their topic of research and a physics problem, respectively. A phenomenographic approach has been employed; six fourth-year physics…
The burgeoning field of multi-messenger astronomy is poised to revolutionize our understanding of the most enigmatic astrophysical phenomena in the Universe. At the same time, it has opened a new window of opportunity to probe various…
This article (which appeared with illustrations) was the astrophysics/cosmology contribution to the historical series ``Pathways of Discovery'' which appeared in ``Science'' during last year.
We retrace the first steps towards understanding neutrinos, particles predicted by Pauli in 1930 to avoid a supposed violation of time-translation symmetry. Despite the tendency to reduce the whole story to his intuition and the skill of…
In this chapter, dedicated to the 60th Anniversary of Themistocles M. Rassias, M\"obius transformation and Einstein velocity addition meet in the hyperbolic geometry of Bolyai and Lobachevsky. It turns out that M\"obius addition that is…
Recent years have seen dramatic progress in cosmology and particle astrophysics. So much so that anyone who dares to offer an overview would certainly risk him- or herself for being incomplete and biased at best, and even incorrect due to…
The present issue of the series <<Modern Problems in Mathematical Physics>> represents the Proceedings of the Students Training Contest Olympiad in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics and includes the statements and the solutions of the…
