We consider some consequences of the presence of a cosmological lepton asymmetry in the form of neutrinos. Relic neutrino degeneracy enhances the contribution of massive neutrinos to the present energy density of the Universe, and modifies…
We attempt to survey recent results and open problems connected to Lieb-Thirring inequalities.
We argue that recent results from two-photon processes at LEP are better explained by quarks possessing integer electric charges.
A review of various definitions of "compatibility" expressed in terms of ordinary probability, and a discussion of the occurrence of incompatibility (and the related phenomenon of interference) in non-quantal probabilistic systems.
The aim of this survey article is to highlight several notoriously intractable problems about knots and links, as well as to provide a brief discussion of what is known about them.
In this paper, we investigate the properties of q-Hermite polynomials related to q-Bernstein polynomials. From these properties, we derive some interesting relations between q-Berstein polynomials and q-Hermite polynomials.
Neutrino oscillations appear to be a simple quantum mechanical phenomenon. However, a closer look at them reveals a number of subtle points and apparent paradoxes. Some of the basic issues of the theory of neutrino oscillations are still…
We rediscuss the recent controversy on a possible Chern-Simons like term generated through radiative corrections in QED with a CPT violating term. We emphasize the fact that any absence of an {\sl a priori} divergence should be explained by…
Matter collapsing to a singularity in a gravitational field is still an intriguing question. Similar situation arises when discussing the very early universe or a universe recollapsing to a singularity. It is suggested that inclusion of…
We call attention on the fact that recent unprecedented technological achievements, in particular in the field of quantum optics, seem to open the way to new experimental tests which might be relevant both for the foundational problems of…
In this paper, we give some properties of the Tribonacci and Tribonacci-Lucas quaternions and obtain some identities for them.
The purpose of this article is to motivate the study of invariant, and especially conformally invariant, differential pairings. Since a general theory is lacking, this work merely presents some interesting examples of these pairings,…
Uncertainty relations involving complementary observables are one of the cornerstones of quantum mechanics. Aside from their fundamental significance, they play an important role in practical applications, such as detection of quantum…
I describe two difficulties with current research into the cosmic evolution of BL Lacertae Objects: (1). Possible sample incompleteness due to unrecognized (i.e., ``hidden'') BL Lacs; and (2). The absence of a viable physical model of the…
In the attempt of including leptons in the scheme of a matter-antimatter asymmetry originated from CP violation in the primordial Universe, it is proposed of re-christening e-, muon-, tau- and their associated neutrinos as 'antiparticles'…
A compsite model of quarks and leptons is proposed. The quarks and leptons are given by three body states which are composed of constituents $(w_1, w_2, c_1, c_2, c_3)$ of SU(5)$_{flavor}$ and $(f_1, f_2, f_3)$ of SU(3)$_{family}$
There are experimental evidence for the occurrence of colour reconnection, but the mechanisms involved are far from understood. Previous reconnection studies are briefly summarized, and some potential implications for LHC physics are…
A historically important but little known debate regarding the necessity and meaning of macroscopic superpositions, in particular those containing different gravitational fields, is discussed from a modern perspective.
Since the seminal paper by Tversky and Kahneman, the conjunction fallacy has been the subject of multiple debates and become a fundamental challenge for cognitive theories in decision-making. In this article, we take a rather uncommon…
The concept of quantum coherence and its possible use as a resource are currently the subject of active researches. Uncertainty and complementarity relations for quantum coherence allow one to study its changes with respect to other…
