We present a talk given by Bryce DeWitt on Quantum Gravity, and present many references. This article is the first installment of the book "The Pursuit of Quantum Gravity 1946-2004; Memoirs of Bryce DeWitt" that Cecile DeWitt is preparing.

An overview of some of the developments in string theory over the past two years is given, focusing on four topics: realistic (standard model like) models from string theory, geometric engineering and theories with fluxes, the gauge…

Talk given at ICM '98, Berlin, reviewing some of the recent developments in understanding of string theory for a mathematical audience (to appear in Documenta Mathematica).

These lectures briefly review our current understanding of classical and quantum gravity in three spacetime dimensions, concentrating on the quantum mechanics of closed universes and the (2+1)-dimensional black hole. Three formulations of…

We give here the contents pages for the Proceedings of the Lattice '97 conference (15th International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory) that took place in July 1997 in Edinburgh, Scotland. The contents are in html form with clickable links…

This report provides a comprehensive overview of the prospects for B physics at the Tevatron. The work was carried out during a series of workshops starting in September 1999. There were four working groups: 1) CP Violation, 2) Rare and…

This is a brief and updated summary of a talk given at the International Conference on Gravitation and Cosmology that took place in Poona in December 1995. It is very brief and is mostly intended as a guide to current literature, or to keep…

This volume contains a selection of the papers presented at the 2nd International Workshop on Linearity (LINEARITY'2012), which took place 1 April 2012 in Tallinn, Estonia. The workshop was a one-day satellite event of ETAPS 2012, the 15th…

Algebraic computing in relativity and gravitation dates back more than thirty years, but only relatively recently has hardware of sufficient power to tackle large scale calculations become commonplace. Whereas it is generally understood…
