This paper was written as a tribute to Mario Petrich, a major figure in the history of semigroup theory. Publication is posthumous in view of his recent death.
In May 2022 ICRANet organized the Workshop dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Professor Ruffini. This paper is based on the talk delivered at the meeting. Professor Ruffini was well known for Soviet scientific community not only due to…
We analyze some of Einstein's failures to accomplish tasks which he posed to himself, notably deterministic interpretation of Quantum mechanics and formulation of the Unified theory of physical interactions, putting them into broader…
Bruno Pontecorvo was a great physicist who had enormous impact on the development of neutrino physics. His contribution to neutrino physics is briefly reviewed.Some recollections about his personality are also given.
This paper discusses Einstein's methodology. 1. Einstein characterized his work as a theory of principle and reasoned that beyond kinematics, the 1905 heuristic relativity principle could offer new connections between non-kinematical…
We examine how much of the contemporary progress in artificial intelligence (and, specifically, in natural language processing), can be, more or less directly, traced back to the seminal work and ideas of the Austrian-British philosopher…
This is, with minor modifications, a text read at the 114th Statistical Mechanics meeting, in honor of D.Ruelle and Y.Sinai, at Rutgers, Dec.13-15, 2015. It does not attempt to analyze, or not even just quote, all works of David Ruelle; I…

The taylor formula pertains historically also to johann or ivan bernoulli. Bernoulli series uiversalisima appeared in acta eruditorum in leipzig when brook taylor was nine years old. As on today one affirms two hundred fifty eight…
This is an expanded and updated version of the talk I gave at the meeting organized at CERN on April 27-28, 2015 dedicated to honoring the memory of Bruno Zumino and his legacy. In this talk I review the emergence of exceptional structures…
This writing has been prepared on the occasion of the 75th birthday of E.C.George Sudarshan, who (besides the originator of the V-A theory for weak-forces, of quantum optics --the quantum representation of coherent light--, of dynamical…
The development of quantum cosmology, in which Stephen Hawking played a crucial role, has frequently encountered substantial conceptual and technical difficulties related to the problem of time in quantum gravity and to general issues…
The 100th anniversary of Bruno Touschek's birth also marks 60 years since the first beams of electrons and positrons circulated in AdA, the first ever matter-antimatter collider built in Frascati National Laboratories following Touschek's…
In this paper we continue our analysis of a formulation of electrodynamics fully covariant under the full Poincar\'e group. Transformations under the four different components of the group force on us the introduction of particles, either…
This anniversary paper is an occasion to recall some of the events that shaped institutional econophysics. But in these thoughts about the evolution of econophysics in the last 15 years we also express some concerns. Our main worry concerns…
Following the paper of J.D. Jackson [arXiv:0708.4249] on a false attribution of discoveries, equations, and methods [Am. J. Phys. 76, 704-719 (2008)] I consider examples, in which some of independent discoverers are forgotten, and in other…
I review the role and meaning of the Anthropic Principle, particularly in its relevance to particle physics.
I describe aspects of my life in physics: the name I publish under, great physicists I have known, how I got into quantum foundations, what role I've played in it. My form is autobiographical, but my personal experience may illustrate what…
This article is a slightly expanded version of the talk I delivered at the Special Plenary Session of the 46-th Annual Meeting of the Israel Physical Society (Technion, Haifa, May 11, 2000) dedicated to Misha Marinov. In the first part I…
A.P. Balachandran was a theoretical physicist of extraordinary versatility and originality. In a career spanning over six decades, he made many significant contributions to quantum field theory and mathematical physics. His influence…
