Despite the huge amount of literature on h-index, few papers have been devoted to the statistical analysis of h-index when a probabilistic distribution is assumed for citation counts. The present contribution relies on showing the available…
In this manuscript we present a brief life history of Ludwig Edward Boltzmann and his achivements. Particularly, we discuss his H-theorem, his work on entropy and statistical interpretation of second-law of thermodynamics. We point out his…
On November 18, 1915 Einstein reported to the Prussian Academy that the perihelion motion of Mercury is explained by his new General Theory of Relativity: Einstein found approximate solutions to his November 11, 1915 field equations.…
One of the aims of this paper is to better explain the philosophy behind the computations in [E.Bifet, C.De Concini,C.Procesi Cohomology of Regular Embeddings ] and to place them in a wider conceptual setting. Another aim of the paper is to…
We comment on the paper \"Uber Extremalprobleme der konformen Geometrie (On extremal problems in conformal geometry) by Teichm\"uller, published in 1941. This paper contains ideas on a wide generalization of his previous work on the…

Although Einstein's name is closely linked with the celebrated relation E = mc2 between mass and energy, a critical examination of the more than half dozen "proofs" of this relation that Einstein produced over a span of forty years reveals…
The 75th anniversary of Turing's seminal paper and his centennial year anniversary occur in 2011 and 2012, respectively. It is natural to review and assess Turing's contributions in diverse fields in the light of new developments that his…
Andrew Tanenbaum and his textbooks -- e.g. on Operating Systems, Computer Networks, Structured Computer Organization and Distributed Systems, to name but a few -- have had a tremendous impact on generations of computer science students (and…
This volume constitutes the proceedings of LFMTP 2015, the Tenth International Workshop on Logical Frameworks and Meta-Languages: Theory and Practice, held on August 1st, 2015 in Berlin, Germany. The workshop was a one-day satellite event…
The information needs of social science researchers are manifold and almost studied in every decade since the 1950s. With this paper, we contribute to this series and present the results of three studies. We asked 367 social science…
The study of the word problems of groups dates back to Dehn in 1911, and has been a central topic of study in both group theory and computability theory. As most naturally occurring presentations of groups are recursive, their word problems…
This text summarizes and expands the content of a general audience talk given in 2018 at the University of Mainz. Motivated by recent developments in dependent type theory and infinity category theory, it presents a history of ideas around…
Heinrich Behmann (1891-1970) obtained his Habilitation under David Hilbert in G\"ottingen in 1921 with a thesis on the decision problem. In his thesis, he solved-independently of L\"owenheim and Skolem's earlier work-the decision problem…
In 1876 in [8], the authors Paul Gordan and Max N\"other classify all homogeneous polynomials h in at most five variables for which the Hessian determinant vanishes. For that purpose, they study quasi-translations which are associated with…
We provide some comments on the article `High-dimensional simultaneous inference with the bootstrap' by Ruben Dezeure, Peter Buhlmann and Cun-Hui Zhang.
This is the extended version of a talk presented at the J.W.Goethe Universitaet Frankfurt a. M. and at the same time a preview at a forthcoming extensive publication on the same subject. It is shown that there is a common background…
This is a lecture notes for a mini-course in Department of Mathematics, Ghent University, 14 Mar.-25 Mar. 2023.
This habilitation (German variant of a PhD on top of a PhD) thesis presents the quintessence of the ideas and experiences with Groebner Bases of Birgit Reinert. She died unexpectedly without providing an abstract. As arXiv requires an…
We establish the existence, finiteness, and uniqueness up to scaling of various isoperimetric profiles of a group, in all dimensions. We also show that these profiles all coincide in dimensions 4 and higher; in particular, the nth Dehn…
