Brief recollections by the author about how his work with Kip Thorne influenced his career in physics.
Starting with a novel definition of divided differences, this essay derives and discusses the basic properties of, and facts about, (univariate) divided differences.
An analytic proof is proposed of Wiener's theorem on factorization of positive definite matrix-functions.
Previous research has shown the existence of gender biases in the depiction of professions and occupations in search engine results. Such an unbalanced presentation might just as likely occur on Wikipedia, one of the most popular knowledge…
In this note, we give several equivalent definitions of Devaney's chaos
We present an identity which can be regarded as a Pfaffian-Hafnian analogue of Borchardt's identity and as a generalization of Schur's identity. We give a proof using the complex analysis.
Proietti et al. (arXiv:1902.05080) reported on an experiment designed to settle, or at least to throw light upon, the paradox of Wigner's friend. Without questioning the rigor or ingenuity of the experimental protocol, I argue that its…
Wigner's friend is commonly invoked in discussion of quantum mechanics and its interpretation.. but who is the friend really? The publishing context of Wigner's article is not widely appreciated. A recent paper by Ballentine is relevant.
After reviewing classical Schur-Weyl duality, we present some other contexts which enjoy similar features, relating to Brauer algebras and classical groups.
I review our current understanding of the Worldformula, M theory, focusing on themes from the work of Heisenberg.
In this paper we introduce the concept of a convolution type operation of functionals on Wiener space. It contains several kinds of the concepts of convolution products on Wiener space, which have been studied by many authors. We then…
Recently, we pointed out the possible inconsistency in the very foundations of the Everett MWI (or a Multiverse) theory. Here, we place some emphasis on the very basic notions underlying our conclusion yet motivated by certain, recently…
The name of John von Neumann is common both in quantum mechanics and computer science. Are they really two absolutely unconnected areas? Many works devoted to quantum computations and communications are serious argument to suggest about…
In the framework of higher transcendental functions the Wright functions of the second kind have increased their relevance resulting from their applications in probability theory and, in particular, in fractional diffusion processes. Here,…
This is a 'facsimile-style' translation of Wigner's seminal paper on measurement limitations in the presence of additive conservation laws. A critical survey of the history of subsequent extensions and variations of what is now known as the…
Feyerabend frequently discussed physics. He also referred to the history of the subject when motivating his philosophy of science. Alas, as some examples show, his understanding of physics remained superficial. In this respect, Feyerabend…
In the gallery of famous people tracing their origins to Wroc{\l}aw, few are as controversial, as complex, or as tragic as Fritz Haber, ever more distant in the flux of time, yet still stirring emotions. He developed a method for the direct…
In this article we give a short and informal overview of some aspects of the theory of C*- and von Neumann algebras. We also mention some classical results and applications of these families of operator algebras.
A generalization of the H\"older inequality is considered. Its relations with a previously obtained improvement of the Cauchy--Schwarz inequality are discussed.
