In a recent paper published in the Philosophical Magazine [Z.-D. Zhang, Phil. Mag. 87, 5309-5419 (2007), arXiv:0705.1045], the author advances a conjectured solution for various properties of the three-dimensional Ising model. Here we…
This paper was accepted for Comment. Math. Univ. Carolinae in 1968 but then got lost during the military occupation of Prague and surrounding events. My own long-lost carbon copy of it turned up in my Columbia office. The only changes to…
This manuscript was originally submitted to Nature for consideration as a "Brief Communication" in response to a "Corrigendum" that appeared in 2006 (1) to an earlier paper in Nature. That corrigendum was the subject of a Nature editorial…
In this note, we give item-by-item responses to the criticisms raised in [TZ] by Tehrani ad Zinger on our paper [LR]. We illuminate the main ideas and contributions in [LR] in section 2, itemize the responses to issues raised in [TZ] and…
An important issue in concurrency is interference. This issue manifests itself in both shared-variable and communication-based concurrency --- this paper focusses on the former case where interference is caused by the environment of a…
This paper discusses questions concerning the foundations of quantum mechanics (entanglement, wave collapse, irreversibility) with reference to the issues raised during a Minisymposium held in Helsinki, 1.6-3.6 in 1992, where A Shimony, A…
We reformulate Pearl's three rules of do-calculus in the language of completely positive (CP) trace-preserving maps, thereby extending them to quantum systems with entanglement. We prove that Rule~2 fails whenever the underlying process…
We present the summary of the general discussion on the probabilistic foundations of quantum theory that took place during the round table at the Int. Conf. "Foundations of Probability and Physics", V\"axj\"o, Sweden-2000. It is possible to…
This manuscript summarizes the outcome of the focus groups at "The f(A)bulous workshop on matrix functions and exponential integrators", held at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems in Magdeburg, Germany, on…
In the Comment [Eur. J. Phys., to be published] on our paper [Eur. J. Phys. 19 (1998) 1-6], the author declares that we claim that the ratio of inertial mass to gravitational mass can be derived ex nihilo and that our paper was published…
We respond to a Comment on our recent paper (Phys.Rev.C77:024304,2008) by Paar (arXiv:0803.0274).
Some formulas and speculations are presented relative to integrable systems and quantum mechanics.
In this note we comment on remarks about our recent effort to understand the specificities of the Boltzmann equation in the context of the alternative theories of gravity with non-minimal coupling between curvature and matter.
The goal of this article is to parametrise solutions to Einstein's equations with big bang singularities and quiescent asymptotics. To this end, we introduce a notion of initial data on big bang singularities and conjecture that it can be…
This paper presents a heuristic framework for analyzing the Goldbach Conjecture (GC) from the perspective of the physics of information. Through empirical analysis, we propose an Informational Economy Principle (IEP), which posits that…
Svensson [Found. Phys. 45, 1645 (2015)] argued that the concept of the weak value of an observable of a pre- and post-selected quantum system cannot be applied when the expectation value of the observable in the initial state vanishes.…
These are expanded notes of a course on basics of quantum field theory for mathematicians given by the author at MIT.

In this paper, we consider the initial value problem for the Einstein-Vlasov-Scalar field equations in temporal gauge, where the initial data are prescribed on two characteristic smooth intersecting hypersurfaces. From a suitable choice of…
The problem of consistent formulation of the correspondence principle in quantum gravity is considered. The usual approach based on the use of the two-particle scattering amplitudes is shown to be in disagreement with the classical result…
