I sketch some pressing questions in several active areas of particle physics and outline the challenges they present for the design and operation of detectors.
Short information about the conference in 1960 in Jerusalem is presented together with an interesting photo where we can find several famous mathematicians participated in this conference. To recognize the people on the photo and collect…
The year 2023 marks three anniversaries: the 150th anniversary of the French Physical Society, the 100th anniversary since the publication of Louis de Broglie's articles (the first fundamental articles of Quantum Mechanics) and the 50th…
This paper is written for "Gribov Memorial Volume", Heavy Ion Physics, Acta Physica Hungarica. This is a report on my 25 years activity in understanding of the Pomeron structure. Since I was involved in the Pomeron business moreless from…
Mathematics is often perceived as difficult or inaccessible, yet meaningful engagement can arise in unexpected places. In this article we describe a multi-year exploration of mathematical outreach through games, puzzles, exhibitions, and…
This paper presents an extended version of lecture notes for an introductory course on Berkovich analytic spaces that I gave in 2010 at Summer School "Berkovich spaces" at Institut de Mathmatiques de Jussieu.
This set of lecture notes constitutes the free textbook project I initiated towards the end of Summer 2015, while preparing for the Fall 2015 Analytical Methods in Physics course I taught to upper level undergraduates at the University of…
This paper is based on a talk presented by the first author at the Short Program on Riemannian Geometry that took place at the Centre de Recherche Math\'ematiques, Universit\'e de Montr\'eal, during the period June 28-July 16, 2004. It is a…

With the advent of high-level programming languages capable of quickly rendering three-dimensional simulations, the inclusion of computers as a learning tool in the classroom has become more prevalent. Although work has begun to study the…
The relationship between mathematics and physics has long been an area of interest and speculation. Subscribing to the recent definition by Tegmark, we present a mathematical structure involving the only division rings - the real,…
This is an intrusion in the life and the mathematics of Norbert A'Campo, intended to be a tribute to him and an acknowledgement of his impact on those who know him and his work. The final version of this paper appears in the book ``Essays…
These notes reproduce the content of a short, 50-minutes, survey talk given at the Nice University in September, 2004. We added a few topics that have not been touched on in the lecture by lack of time.
We give a brief introduction to the topics discussed at the ISMD 2010 Symposium (Antwerp, 2010) on forward physics at the LHC and its interplay with cosmic rays physics.
Talk given at NATO ARW in Kiev (September 2000) "Non-commutative Structures in Mathematics and Physics".
This paper will consist of a selected, personal view of some of the issues associated with the intersections of nuclear and particle physics. As well as touching on the recent developments we will attempt to look at how those aspects of the…
The distinction between sciences is becoming increasingly more artificial -- an approach from one area can be easily applied to the other. More exciting research nowadays is happening perhaps at the interfaces of disciplines like Physics,…
The University of Strasbourg, fundamentally humanistic since its creation, has a complicated history, being sometimes German, sometimes French through the ages. If one focus, from 1871, on the area of mathematics, we can identify two…
