Purpose: The paper introduces a classical model to describe the dynamics of large spin-1/2 ensembles associated with nuclei bound in large molecule structures, commonly referred to as the semi-solid spin pool, and their magnetization…
This is the introduction I wrote for the multi-authored book "From Riemann to differential geometry and relativity", edited by L. Ji, A. Papadopoulos and S. Yamada (Berlin, Springer verlag, 2017). The book consists of twenty chapters,…

The current status of optical potentials employed in the prediction of thermonuclear reaction rates for astrophysics in the Hauser-Feshbach formalism is discussed. Special emphasis is put on $\alpha$+nucleus potentials. A novel approach for…
The paper is withdrawn and will be replaced at a later time by a significantly revised and extended version.
The contributions of Emmy Noether to particle physics fall into two categories. One is given under the rubric of Noether's theorem, and the other may be described as her important contributions to modern mathematics. These are discussed…
In this short note we amplify our comments on the paper PRL 95,010405 (2005).
The concept of extremely dense matter at supra-nuclear density was first speculated by L. Landau in the beginning of 1930s when neutron was just discovered. A historical review on these issues not only explains the interaction between micro…
This is a book review for Zhan's Matrix Theory (AMS, GSM 147, 2013).
Comment on A.F. Abouraddy, P.R. Stone, A.V. Sergienko, B.E.A. Saleh, and M.C. Teich, ``Entangled-Photon Imaging of a Pure Phase Object,'' Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 213903 (2004). Unpublished (rejected by Physical Review Letters), but for a…
The book examines some of the questions of modern cosmology, the physics of atmospheric phenomena, the physics of quasi-particles and atomic nuclei in the Universe. It consists of three parts, each discusses the theoretical problems of…
Studying the physical processes occurring in the region just above the magnetic poles of strongly magnetized, accreting binary neutron stars is essential to our understanding of stellar and binary system evolution. Perhaps more importantly,…
This paper is an extended summary of the talk I gave at IAU Symposium "New Horizons in Time Domain Astronomy" (Oxford, 2011). I first review the history of transients (which is intimately related to the advent of wide-field telescopic…
The article surveys aspects of the Fourier-Mukai transform, its relative version and some of its applications in string theory. To appear in Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics, published by Elsevier in early 2006. Comments/corrections…

We briefly outline the models of the $n\bar{n}$ transition in nuclei and analyse a well known calculation based on diagram technique published in 1992 and repeated recently by V. Kopeliovich and I. Potashnikova.
This is a Reply to a Comment by V.P. Torchigin and A.V. Torchigin, published in Physical Review A 92, 017803 (2015). The paper which is commented upon is titled "Deducing radiation pressure on a submerged mirror from the Doppler shift,"…
Light emission by metals at room temperature is quenched by fast relaxation processes. Nevertheless, Mooradian reported in 1969 the observation of photoluminescence by metals pumped by a laser. Strikingly, while it is currently at the heart…
