We describe the percolation model and some of the principal results and open problems in percolation theory. We also discuss briefly the spectacular recent progress by Lawler, Schramm, Smirnov and Werner towards understanding the phase…
I give a brief overview of the status of lattice QCD, concentrating on topics relevant to phenomenology. I discuss the calculation of the light quark spectrum, the lattice prediction of $\alpha_\MS(M_Z)$, and the calculation of $f_B$.
This paper presents the latest development at CERN, concentrating on the status of the LHC and the strategy for future linear colliders. The immediate plans include the exploitation of the LHC at its design luminosity and energy as well as…
In this article we give a survey on open problems and conjectures concerning L^2-invariants. We cover the whole portfolio and not only certain aspects as they are considered in the previous more specialized (and within their scope more…
In these lectures, the status of baryon chiral perturbation theory is reviewed. Particular emphasis is put on the two--flavor sector and the physics related to electromagnetic probes. I discuss in some detail the structure of the effective…
In this paper, we extend the paraxial conical refraction model to the case of the partially coherent light using the unified optical coherence theory. We demonstrate the decomposition of conical refraction correlation functions into…
We give a brief overview of the black hole information problem emphasizing fundamental issues and recent proposals for its resolution. The focus is on broad perspective and providing a guide to current literature rather than presenting full…
A short informal survey on the topics listed in the title. For the proceedings of the International Conference on Rings and Algebras X.
This talk tries to summarise where we are now, in the "nature and nurture" questions in galaxy formation and evolution, and briefly describe unsolved problems, and perspectives of progress.
In this series of lectures directed towards a mainly mathematically oriented audience I try to motivate the use of operator algebra methods in quantum field theory. Therefore a title as ``why mathematicians are/should be interested in…
A brief review of key recent developments and ongoing projects in perturbative QCD theory, with emphasis on conceptual advances that have the potential for impact on LHC studies. Topics covered include: twistors and new recursive…
Poisson algebraic structures on current manifolds (of maps from a finite dimensional Riemannian manifold into a 2-dimensional manifold) are investigated in terms of symplectic geometry. It is shown that there is a one to one correspondence…
This article is a draft of a book chapter of the book entitled "Quantum Percolation and Breakdown", to appear 2008.
This article summarizes - from a personal perspective - some of the main themes that have emerged at this conference and in this field generally in the past few years.
During the five days of this conference a very dense scientific program has enlighted our research fields, with the presentation of large number of interesting lectures. I will try to summarize the theoretical aspects of some of these new…
These notes are a transcript of Carlo Rovelli's lectures on Loop Quantum Gravity, given in Marseille in 2018, which (at present) can be entirely found on YouTube. I transcribed them in LaTeX in early 2020 as an exercise to get ready for my…
Chapters 1 to 4 are the lecture notes of my course "Real Algebraic Geometry I" from the winter term 2020/2021. Chapters 5 to 8 are the lecture notes of its continuation "Real Algebraic Geometry II" from the summer term 2021. Chapters 9 and…
Invited talk presented at the 1994 Meeting of The Division of Particles and Fields of the American Physical Society, Albuquerque NM, August 1-6, 1994
It has, quite recently, become fashionable to study a certain class of holographic-inspired models for the dark energy. These investigations have, indeed, managed to make some significant advances towards explaining the empirical data.…
At the LHC all processes are QCD ones, whether "signal" or "background". In this review the frontiers of current QCD research are addressed, towards increased understanding, improved calculational precision, and role in potential future…
