Summary of a talk given at the International Seminar "Analysis of spectral invariants and related operator theory", Tokyo University of Science, Unga Campus, 5-6 Oct. 2009
We present some elementary ideas to prove the following Sylvester-Gallai type theorems involving incidences between points and lines in the planes over the complex numbers and quaternions. (1) Let A and B be finite sets of at least two…
This is a written version of the review talk given at the meeting on "Interface of Gravitational and Quantum Realms" at IUCAA, Pune during December 2001. The talk reviewed the recent work of Martin Bojowald on Loop Quantum Cosmology.
This is a composite based on talks at Physics at LHC, Vienna, July 2004, TeV4LHC, Fermilab, Sept. 2004, and the String Phenomenology meeting, Perimeter Institute, March 2005.
Some formulas and speculations are presented relative to integrable systems and quantum mechanics.
A brief survey of recent results in the study of boundary integrable quantum field theories, indicating some currently open problems. Based on lectures given at the 2000 Eotvos Summer School in Physics on `Nonperturbative QFT methods and…

The 2014 Logic Blog starts with open questions from the May IMS program in Singapore. It contains results on randomness, including answers to some open questions in higher randomness. There are structural results on equivalence relations,…
This is an exposition of recent developments in the theory of bounded differences between primes. Readers are expected to be beginners of analytic number theory. The present text is a substantially improved and augmented version of the one…
In Problem #1542 of Mathematics Magazine, Grossman and Turett define the Cantor game. In his 2007 Mathematics Magazine article about the Cantor game, Matt Baker proves several results and poses three challenging questions about it: Do there…
In this paper we go on to discuss about Stanley's theorem in Integer partitions. We give two different versions for the proof of the generalization of Stanley's theorem illustrating different techniques that may be applied to profitably…
These lecture notes on Generalised Parton Distributions aim at providing a general picture of the field on the theoretical and phenomenological sides to master and Ph.D. students. They go along with the lecture given at the Baryon…
Imagine a sequence in which the first letter comes from a binary alphabet, the second letter can be chosen on an alphabet with 10 elements, the third letter can be chosen on an alphabet with 3 elements and so on. When such a sequence can be…
The mathematical study of infinity seems to have the ability to transport the mind to lofty and unusual realms. Decades ago, I was transported in this way by Rudy Rucker's book Infinity and the Mind. Despite much subsequent learning and…
These are the notes for the Clay Mathematics Institute Senior Scholar Lecture which was delivered by Bernd Sturmfels in Park City, Utah, on July 22, 2004. The topic of this lecture is the ``tropical approach'' in mathematics, which has…
In this paper, we discuss the role of Mathematics in articulating reality in theoretical Physics. We propose a parallel between empirical and theoretical work and investigate how scientists can also speak about reality without performing…
These are lecture notes of a course that I gave to people doing research for their Ph.D. thesis in theoretical chemistry or spectroscopy. The course was given on December 9-13, 2002, in Han-sur-Lesse, Belgium. The lecture notes start with…
Notes from lectures given at the Autumn School on Algebraic and Arithmetic Geometry at the Johannes Gutenberg-Universit\"at Mainz in October 2017.
We consider products of two Cantor sets, and obtain the optimal estimates in terms of their thickness that guarantee that their product is an interval. This problem is motivated by the fact that the spectrum of the Labyrinth model, which is…
