Although bibliometrics are normally applied to journal articles when used to support research evaluations, conference papers are at least as important in fast-moving computing-related fields. It is therefore important to assess the relative…
This paper is extended and broadly generalized version of earlier published rapid communication, Phys.Rev.E, Vol.58, R 5213 (1998). It also elaborates on some problems which were left unsolved or just mentioned in Physics Reports Vol.298,…
Grothendieck's Esquisse d'un programme is often referred to for the ideas it contains on dessins d'enfants, the Teichm{\"u}ller tower, and the actions of the absolute Galois group on these objects or their etale fundamental groups. But this…
This manuscript presents shortly the results obtained by participants of the scientific seminar which is held more than twenty years under leadership of the author at Donetsk University. In the list of references main publications are…
Those notes rest on the Samuel Eilenberg Lectures I gave at Columbia University, NY, in the fall 2022. I thank all the mathematicians who participated in their elaboration, directly or indirectly. They are meant to be published as a…
This is an expanded version of the author's lecture at the Conference in Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry in Messina Italy in June 1999. The purpose of the talk was to give a brief introduction to the subject of tight closure,…
The goal of this modern presentation, followed by an English translation from the German, is to make available some parts of Lie's very systematic mathematical thought which deserve to join the contemporary literature, and above all also,…
Mathematics is changing. Computers are verifying proofs, checking calculations, and exploring complex structures that would overwhelm human effort. Yet curiosity-driven research is where tomorrow's breakthroughs are quietly prepared. In…
The article surveys a little of the history of the technology, sets out the main current theoretical approaches in brief, and discusses the on-going opposition between theoretical and empirical approaches. It illustrates the situation with…
Comments on the results presented at the Conference "Frontiers Beyond the Standard Model," FTPI, Oct. 2012. This summary traces a historical perspective. v2: A reference corrected and a footnote added; v3: a few grammar mistakes and typos…
Talk given at the First Workshop on Forward Physics and Luminosity Determination at the LHC, Helsinki, Finland, November 2000. 12 pages, 9 figures
The primary aim of this chapter is, commemorating the 150th anniversary of Riemann's death, to explain how the idea of {\it Riemann sum} is linked to other branches of mathematics. The materials I treat are more or less classical and…
Recently delivered lectures on Self-Referential Mathematics, [2], at the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, University of Pretoria, are briefly presented. Comments follow on the subject, as well as on Inconsistent…
Some mathematical properties of the Erd\"os number and its formal equivalents are shown. An informetric equivalent is presented: the Rousseau number. This contribution honors Ronald Rousseau for his 73th birthday.
This is a set of expository lecture notes created originally for a graduate course on holomorphic curves taught at ETH Zurich and the Humboldt University Berlin in 2009/2010. The notes are still incomplete, but due to recent requests from…
In this note we revisit E. Cartan's address at the 1928 International Congress of Mathematicians at Bologna, Italy. The distributions considered here will be of the same class as those considered by Cartan, a special type which we call…
We survey some major contributions to Riemann's moduli space and Teichm{\"u}ller space. Our report has a historical character, but the stress is on the chain of mathematical ideas. We start with the introduction of Riemann surfaces, and we…
These lecture notes give an introduction to the Kahler-Ricci flow. They are based on lectures given by the authors at the conference "Analytic Aspects of Complex Algebraic Geometry", held at the Centre International de Rencontres…
I introduce a new geometrical approach to thermo--statistical mechanics. Here I highlight the main physical ideas, and how do they translate into geometrical language. I contrast the present approach with previous…
In this paper, we discuss the commutativity of sums of two quasihomogeneous Toeplitz operators on the Bergman space of the unit disc. Our main result goes in the direction of the conjecture in "Bicommutants of Toeplitz operators" (by I.…
