These are notes from a three-lecture mini-course on free probability given at MSRI in the Fall of 2010 and repeated a year later at Harvard. The lectures were aimed at mathematicians and mathematical physicists working in combinatorics,…
A self-contained discussion of nonrelativistic quantum scattering is presented in the case of central potentials in one space dimension, which will facilitate the understanding of the more complex scattering theory in two and three…
This is an introduction to some recent developments in string theory and M theory. We try to concentrate on the main physical aspects, and often leave more technical details to the original literature.
Scattering methods are widely used in many research areas to analyze and resolve material structures. Given the importance, a large number of full textbooks are devoted to this topic. However, technical details in experiments and…
In these lecture notes I describe the theory of QCD and its application, through perturbation theory, at particle colliders.
These lectures provide an introduction to effective theories concentrating on the basic ideas and providing some simple applications
The spectral and scattering theory is investigated for a generalization, to scattering metrics on two-dimensional compact manifolds with boundary, of the class of smooth potentials on the Euclidean plane which are homogeneous of degree zero…
In my thesis I study mesoscopic corrections on diffuse transport. I first describe the diffuse transport of light, using the scalar approximation and the radiative transfer approach. Next, I focus on the correlations in transmission, I…
This set of Montreal lectures is an elementary and sketchy introduction to the general field of random matrices. The first half is devoted to combinatorial models, whereas the second half deals with random matrix questions(GUE, etc...).
This manuscript summarizes a series of three lectures on interactions of neutrinos . The lectures begin with a pedagogical foundation and then explore topics of interest to current and future neutrino oscillation and cross-section…
These lecture notes give a very short introduction to coarsening phenomena and summarize some recent results in the field. They focus on three aspects: the super-universality hypothesis, the geometry of growing structures, and coarsening in…
This proceedings contribution gives a brief introduction to the theoretical description of double parton scattering and discusses several open problems.
Introductory lectures on SCET mainly following the first chapters of arXiv:1410.1892
We investigate numerically different techniques to extract scattering amplitudes from the Euclidean Lattice {\phi}4 theory with two fields, having different masses. We present an exploratory study of the recently proposed method by Bruno…
In these 4 lectures, I give a brief introduction to the principles of effective field theory and discuss their application via 3 examples: (i) the Standard Model as an effective theory; (ii) non-linear sigma models and the composite Higgs;…
We consider a charged particle following the boundary of a two-dimensional domain because a homogeneous magnetic field is applied. We develop the basic scattering theory for the corresponding quantum mechanical edge states. The scattering…
We review the theory of information cascades and social learning. Our goal is to describe in a relatively integrated and accessible way the more important themes, insights and applications of the literature as it has developed over the last…
A version of scattering theory that was developed many years ago to treat nuclear scattering processes, has provided a powerful tool to study universality in scattering processes involving open quantum systems with underlying classically…
This is the written version of a set of introductory lectures on string theory.
The talk contains a brief introduction string theory, followed by a discussion of some of the recent developments.
