I describe the impact of some of the mathematical results of Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat on gravitational physics, as well as the evolution of my interactions with her over the years.
We present a perspective of strange quark matter research in the 1991-2001 decade focused on astrophysics topics, with particular attention to open problems. We outline the basic concepts and developments in the field, paying attention to…
An overview is given of the application of twistor geometric ideas to supersymmetry with particular emphasis on the construction of superspaces associated with four-dimensional spacetime. Talk given at Leuven conference, July 1995.
This is the talk I gave at the workshop "Solar-Stellar Magnetism: Past, Present and Future" held in Jaipur on 18 February 2018 on the occasion of my 60th year.
These test problems were used by the author as weekly control works for the first year physics students at Novosibirsk State University in 2005. Solutions of the problems are also given. The problems were taken from or inspired by the…
