An overview of recent measurements of quarkonium production in nucleus-nucleus collisions and their understanding in theoretical models is given.

In arXiv:2509.02905 [hep-th], we introduced an approximation that allows one to study Horowitz-Polchinski backgrounds beyond the weak coupling regime. In this paper we describe the resulting solutions, and discuss a few related issues.

This is a mini-review of recent theoretical work in the field of relativistic heavy ion physics. The following topics are discussed: initial conditions and the Color Glass Condensate; approach to thermalization and the hydrodynamical…

Using Wilson-Polchinski renormalization group equations, we give a simple new proof of decoupling in a $\phi^4$-type scalar field theory involving two real scalar fields (one is heavy with mass $M$ and the other light). Then, to all orders…

In this paper we consider the notions of binomial thinning, binomial mixing, their generalizations, certain interplay between them, associated limit theorems and provide various examples.

The papers math.QA/0403527 and math.QA/0409414 v.1 are now merged together. The final version is available at math.QA/0409414 v.2. To avoid duplication of papers, math.QA/0403527 is now removed.

This article gives a short description of pattern formation and coarsening phenomena and focuses on recent experimental and theoretical advances in these fields. It serves as an introduction to phase ordering kinetics and it will appear in…

This is an expository paper discussing various versions of Khovanov homology theories, interrelations between them, their properties, and their applications to other areas of knot theory and low-dimensional topology.

The connections between the objects mentioned in the title are used to give a short proof of the Cartan--Helgason theorem and a natural construction of the compactifications.

We discuss what is light-cone quantization on a curved spacetime also without a null Killing vector. Then we consider as an example the light-cone quantization of a scalar field on a background with a Killing vector and the connection with…

I summarize recent lattice results on QCD at finite temperatures and densities. Studies on the nature of the QCD transition at the physical point, continuum extra polations of thermodynamic quantities, and new calculations of hadronic…

We revise the problem of the quantization of relativistic particle, presenting a modified consistent canonical scheme, which allows one not only to include arbitrary backgrounds in the consideration but to get in course of the quantization…

This is a survey about recent progress in Rankin-Cohen deformations. We explain a connection between Rankin-Cohen brackets and higher order Hankel forms.

We have written down a set of notes on compact quantum groups from which all the different aspects can be learned in an easy way and such that a lot of insight can be obtained without too much effort. Compact quantum groups have been…

The light-front quantization of gauge theories such as QCD in light-cone gauge provides a frame-independent wavefunction representation of relativistic bound states, simple forms for current matrix elements, explicit unitarity, and a…

We are on the way to obtaining multi-dimensional "pictures" of the proton. The field is bursting with activities, both from the theoretical and experimental side. A brief selection of important achievements of the last years and open…

We discuss the discrete light-cone quantization (DLCQ) of a scalar field theory on the maximally supersymmetric pp-wave background in ten dimensions. It has been shown that the DLCQ can be carried out in the same way as in the…

We summarise the perspectives on heavy-quarkonium production at the LHC, both for proton-proton and heavy-ion runs, as emanating from the round table held at the HLPW 2008 Conference. The main topics are: present experimental and…

This is part one of a series of four methodological papers on (bi)quaternions and their use in theoretical and mathematical physics: 1- Alphabetical bibliography, 2- Analytical bibliography, 3- Notations and terminology, and 4- Formulas and…

We overview the current status and future perspectives of the QCD-based method of light-cone sum rules. The two main versions of these sum rules, using light-meson and $B$-meson distribution amplitudes are introduced and the most important…
