Opening Lecture at the Second Rencontres du Vietnam, October 21-28, 1995.
Ideas from quantum field theory and topology have proved remarkably fertile in suggesting new phenomena in the quantum physics of condensed matter. Here I'll supply some broad, unifying context, both conceptual and historical, for the…
At the request of the organizers, this talk surveys some of the hot topics discussed at this meeting, giving my {\it subjective views} on them. Subjects covered include the present age and Hubble expansion rate of the Universe - {\it…
We summarize the activities in the spin physics parallel sessions of the $8^{\rm th}$ conference on intersections between particle and nuclear physics.
This writeup follows the presentation at the Symposium, with emphasis on topics and ideas discussed there. It is purposefully informal, not a review of the field, and neither does it include a complete list of references. However, I hope…
This is a non-standard paper, containing some problems in set theory I have in various degrees been interested in. Sometimes with a discussion on what I have to say; sometimes, of what makes them interesting to me, sometimes the problems…
Recent results presented at the International Cosmic Ray Conference in Beijing will be reviewed. Topics include HE2: "Muons and Neutrinos" and HE3: "Interactions, Particle Physics Aspects, Cosmology"
This text is an introduction to a few selected areas of Alain Connes' noncommutative geometry written for the volume of the school/conference "Noncommutative Geometry 2005" held at IPM Tehran. It is an expanded version of my lectures which…
The workshop "The Helicity Structure of the Nucleon" (BNL June 5, 2006) was organized as part of the 2006 RHIC & AGS Users' Meeting to review the status of the spin problem and future directions. The presentations can be found at…
The 2007 Midwest Geometry Conference included a panel discussion devoted to open problems and the general direction of future research in fields related to the main themes of the conference. This paper summarizes the comments made during…
I give a brief, non-technical, historical perspective on numerical analysis and optimization. I also touch on emerging trends and future challenges. This content is based on the short presentation that I made at the opening ceremony of…
Some issues in inclusive and exclusive diffractive processes are discussed.
This contribution highlights recent results from the PHENIX Collaboration at RHIC. It covers global variables, flow and 2--particle correlations. A second contribution in this issue, by T.C.Awes, covers PHENIX results on heavy quarks,…
A short summary of main results of theoretical talks presented at XXIX International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics is given.
I give a brief review of results obtained recently at Ecole Normale on the depinning transition of interfaces and contact lines using a variety of approaches: non-local Monte Carlo algorithms, dynamical renormalization group calculations to…

This paper, written in relation to the Current Developments in Mathematics 2012 Conference, discusses the recent papers on perfectoid spaces. Apart from giving an introduction to their content, it includes some open questions, as well as…
A brief report of the topics which received attention during the discussion session II of the International Workshop on Symmetries and Low-Energy Phase Transitions in Nuclear-Structure Physics, held in Camerino on 9-11 October 2005, is…
The purpose of this informal article is to introduce the reader to some of the objects and methods of the theory of p-adic representations. My hope is that students and mathematicians who are new to the subject will find it useful as a…
