We will review some of the theoretical progresses that have been in the study of complex systems in physics and of their applications to biology.
The present volume is a Festschrift for Mike Keane, on the occasion of his 65th birthday on January 2, 2005. It contains 29 contributions by Mike's closest colleagues and friends, covering a broad range of topics in Dynamics and…
The materials accompany a lecture short course presented at the 2011 Park City Mathematics Institute, Graduate Summer School on Moduli Spaces of Riemann Surfaces. The lectures were part of/coordinated with an overall program, including…
In our days, the necessity of laboratory apparatus accustoming by building up specific software objects for studying the virtual evolution of physical phenomena is a major request. In this respect, the aim of the present paper is to present…
We present a conceptually clear introduction to quantum theory, deriving the theory from scratch from the point of view of quantum information. Different subsets of these lectures were taught to a wide variety of audiences, including…
We review the present seach for scalar leptoquarks and the potential of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to unravel the existence of first generation leptoquarks. Talk given by O. J. P. Eboli at the International Workshop on "Physics…
In my lectures at the Les Houches Summer School 2008, I discussed central concepts of computational statistical physics, which I felt would be accessible to the very cross-cultural audience at the school. I started with a discussion of…
Further formulas are presented involving quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and integrable systems. Modifications of dispersionless theory are developed.
Although elastic scattering of nucleons may look like a simple process, it presents a long-lasting challenge for theory. Due to missing hard energy scale, the perturbative QCD can not be applied. Instead, many phenomenological/theoretical…
Review of selected fundamental topics on the interaction between phase transformations, fracture, and other structural changes in inelastic materials is presented. It mostly focuses on the concepts developed in the author's group over last…
This is a pedagogical article cited in the foregoing research note, quant-ph/9911050
Lecture notes from the 1994 CRM-CAP Summer School ``Particles and Fields '94''. Covers material written elsewhere in a more leisurely fashion, including many exercises. Describes derivation of quantum groups from the Chern-Simons lagrangian…
The simulation of industrial processes involving cold compaction of powders allows for the optimization of the production of both traditional and advanced ceramics. The capabilities of a constitutive model previously proposed by the authors…
In event-chain Monte Carlo simulations we model colloidal particles in two dimensions that interact according to an isotropic short-ranged pair potential which supports the two typical length scales present in decagonal quasicrystals. We…
A range of percolation models of cluster systems of composites is discussed. In the models the parameters of the clusters of a substance and inner boundaries were obtained by the Monte Carlo method, and the possibility of affecting the…
Exploration of the structure formation and dynamics of animate and inanimate matter on the nanometer scale is a highly interdisciplinary field of rapidly emerging research. It is relevant for various molecular and nanoscale systems of…
This is a survey on the subject of the title corresponding to three lectures I gave in June 2001 at the Workshop on Fourier Analysis and Convexity, at the Universita di Milano-Biccoca.
We consider limit sets of some conformal iterated function systems, and introduce classes of subsets of the limit set, with the property that the classes are closed under countable intersections and all sets in the classes have large…
The deformability of soft condensed matter often requires modelling of hydrodynamical aspects to gain quantitative understanding. This, however, requires specialised methods that can resolve the multiscale nature of soft matter systems. We…
Across biological subdisciplines, the last decade has seen an explosion of high-dimensional datasets, including datasets for cells, species, immune systems, neurons and behaviour. At the ICTS workshop 'Unifying Theories in High-Dimensional…
