Bruno Pontecorvo was a great physicist who had enormous impact on the development of neutrino physics. His contribution to neutrino physics is briefly reviewed.Some recollections about his personality are also given.
We briefly report on a study intended to help shape the future of neutrino physics -- an area to which Professor Gustavo Branco has made distinguished contributions.
Julian Schwinger's influence on Twentieth Century science is profound and pervasive. Of course, he is most famous for his renormalization theory of quantum electrodynamics, for which he shared the Nobel Prize with Richard Feynman and…

In this essay, I discuss an interdisciplinary science that is just blossoming: that of geo-neutrinos. I begin with a couple of episodes from the history of thought, showing the deep roots of Earth science and its many connections with…
In memory of the famous physicist Bruno Pontecorvo, whereof is just occurred the centenary anniversary of the birth and the twentieth anniversary of the death, this paper traces the scientific and human adventure of the italian scientist,…
This review is based on lectures given by M. J. Duff summarising the far reaching contributions of Ettore Majorana to fundamental physics, with special focus on Majorana fermions in all their guises. The theoretical discovery of the…
This article is dedicated to the 80th birthday of the outstanding Georgian and Soviet nuclear physicist Professor R. I. Jibuti (1934-1992).
I present some reminiscences, both personal and scientific, over a lifetime of admiration of, and friendship with, one of the Grandmasters of our subject.
Ettore Majorana contributed several ideas that have had significant, lasting impact in condensed matter physics, broadly construed. Here I will discuss, from a modern perspective, four important topics that have deep roots in Majorana's…
We discuss Luigi Cremona's contribution to the early development of the theory of cubic surfaces.
We outline Fermi's early attitude towards old quantum physics. We sketch out the context from which his interest for quantum physics arose, and we deal with his work on quantum statistics. We also go through the first two courses on…
L. E. Ballentine's remarks in Physics Today about the QBist interpretation of quantum mechanics are generally wide of the mark.
We present a review on the recent developments concerning rigorous mathematical results on Schr\"odinger operators with magnetic fields. This paper is dedicated to the sixtieth birthday of Barry Simon.
I give a brief review of effective field theory, disscussing the contribution of Feza G\"ursey in particular and focusing on the literature I am most familiar with.
These are expanded notes of a course on basics of quantum field theory for mathematicians given by the author at MIT.
In these notes we propose a setting for fuzzy computing in a framework similar to that of well-established theories of computation: boolean, and quantum computing. Our efforts have been directed towards stressing the formal similarities:…
In this article we explore some aspects of Fourier analysis on fuzzy sets. This work was part of a broader project jointly with Professor Vittorio Cafagna which spanned over a few years between 1998 and 2005. Professor Cafagna passed away…
After revisiting some high points of particle physics and QFT of the two decades from 1960 to 1980, I comment on the work by Jorge Andre Swieca. I explain how it fits into the quantum field theory during these two decades and draw attention…
During the 1920s and 1930s, Italian physicists established strong relationships with scientists from other European countries and the United States. The career of Bruno Rossi, a leading personality in the study of cosmic rays and an Italian…
