In this review, the formation, evolution, and decay of the large-scale structure of the Universe is discussed in the context of observational data, numerical simulations, and the Cosmological Standard Model (CSM). Problems concerning…
This is a brief review paper summarizing talks at the NATO school on Complexity and Large Deviations in Geilo, Norway, 2001.
Cosmology has come a long way from being based on a small number of observations to being a data-driven precision science. We discuss the questions "What is observable?", "What in the Universe is knowable?" and "What are the fundamental…
This article summarizes - from a personal perspective - some of the main themes that have emerged at this conference and in this field generally in the past few years.
Summary of a talk at the conference The Chaotic Universe in Rome, Feb, 1999
The "1st Workshop of Astronomy and Astrophysics for Students" was organized with the purpose of bringing togheter scientific Institutions involved in Astrophysical researches, of the Campania region and beyond. In this context the…
This year was 28th time that our series of workshops entitled "What Comes Beyond the Standard Models?" took place. The series started in 1998 with the idea of organising a workshop where participants would spend most of the time in…
Experimental summary talk given at International Conference on Ultrarelativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions (QM2001), Stony Brook, New York, 15-20 Jan 2001.
The Debrecen workshop was one of a number held in preparation for the UNESCO-ICSU World Conference on Science, which will be held in Budapest, June 1999. A report representing the views of the workshop, prepared for that conference and…
Extended abstract for the workshop "Geophysical Fluid Dynamics " held in Oberwolfach, 17 February - 23 February 2013, to be published by the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach in the "Oberwolfach Reports" series.
Normalizing flows are a powerful tool to create flexible probability distributions with a wide range of potential applications in cosmology. Here we are studying normalizing flows which represent cosmological observables at field level,…
These proceedings contain research results presented during the Workshops "Quark Matter in Astro- and Particle Physics" held at the University of Rostock, November 27-29, 2000 and "Dynamical Aspects of the QCD Phase Transition" held at the…
Cosmicflows-2 is a compilation of distances and peculiar velocities for over 8000 galaxies. Numerically the largest contributions come from the luminosity-linewidth correlation for spirals, the TFR, and the related Fundamental Plane…
Since the late 1970's, redshift surveys have been vital for progress in understanding large-scale structure in the Universe. The original CfA redshift survey collected spectra of 20-30 galaxies per clear night on a 1.5 meter telescope; over…
The International School on Cosmological Dark Matter held in Valencia in the fall of 1993 was devoted to the interplay of cosmology and particle physics, with the obvious emphasis on the Dark Matter issue. Here I present the expanded…
We summarise the talks presented in the working group on diffraction and vector mesons at the DIS 2009 workshop.
The past few years have seen dramatic breakthroughs and spectacular and puzzling discoveries in astrophysics and cosmology. In many cases, the new observations can only be explained with the introduction of new fundamental physics. Here we…
Observational evidence from local star-forming regions mandates that star formation occurs shortly after, or even during, molecular cloud formation. Models of the formation of molecular clouds in large-scale converging flows have identified…
These lectures cover various aspects of the statistical description of cosmological density fields. Observationally, this consists of the point process defined by galaxies, and the challenge is to relate this to the continuous density field…
We summarize the studies and discussions of the Structure Function subgroup of the QCD working group of the Snowmass 1996 Workshop: New Directions for High Energy Physics.
