Meetings are a key component of human collaboration. As increasing numbers of meetings are recorded and transcribed, meeting summaries have become essential to remind those who may or may not have attended the meetings about the key…

I give a brief introduction to lattice QCD for non-specialists.

Condensed account of the Lectures delivered at the Meeting on {\it Noncommutative Geometry in Field and String Theory}, Corfu, September 18 - 20, 2005.

These notes on string theory are based on a series of talks I gave during my graduate studies. As the talks, this introductory essay is intended for young students and non-string theory physicists.

I was asked at the end of this conference to provide a few comments on the present status of the field of cosmic abundances, which I summarize (and extend upon) in this contribution. A discussion of the present ``state of play'' is given,…

This is an informal overview of methods and results on the QCD phase diagram and lattice termodynamics aimed at specialists in nearby fields.

Plenary talk in Quark Matter 2005, Budapest.

We summarize some of the main ideas and results around symplectic field theory, from its early inception up to recent and ongoing developments.

The new millennium's qualitative advances in relativistic heavy ion physics are in part due to, and are in part causing, a new appreciation for quantitative rigor in both experimental and theoretical work in the field. In these proceedings…

A formalism specifying efficient, "emergent" descriptions of experimental systems is developed. It does not depend on an a priori assumption of limited available data.

This paper is the write-up version of the theory summary talk given at the HSQCD 2008 Workshop in Gatchina, Russia. Recent theoretical developments and results are summarized focusing on works that point out new perspectives, ranging from…

I review some of the main results on hard diffraction, in their relation to QCD, and indicate some of the strengths and weaknesses of the arguments. I also make some suggestions for future work.

These lecture notes provide a relatively self-contained introduction to field theoretic methods employed in the study of classical and quantum phase transitions.

This is a not-to-be-journal-published paper, aimed to serve as reference. It is a summary of the main ideas on the topic appearing in the title, and an opportunity to state correctly the main conjecture in the field.

Experimental contributors to the field of Superconducting Materials share their informal views on the subject.

In this talk I describe recent progress in investigating the high energy limit of perturbative QCD. I review some of the steps that have been done in the direction of constructing an effective field theory for this limit. I describe some of…

These are expended notes of my talk at the summer institute in algebraic geometry (Seattle, July-August 2005), whose main purpose is to present a global overview on the theory of higher and derived stacks. This text is far from being…

These are notes on Zhang's work and subsequent developments produced in preparation for 5 hours of talks for a general mathematical audience given in Cambridge, Edinburgh and Auckland over the last year. Being for colloquium-style talks,…

This is the "preprint" for a paper that came out in 1998 but for some reason wasn't posted then. Abstract:These lectures are for novices to lattice QCD. They introduce a set of simple ideas and numerical techniques that can be implemented…

We present a concise review of where we stand in particle physics today. First we discuss QCD, then the electroweak sector and finally the motivations and the avenues for new physics beyond the Standard Model.
