This article reviews recent theoretical developments in the ab initio study of polarons in materials. The polaron is an emergent quasiparticle that arises from the interaction between electrons and phonons in solids, and consists of an…
Polarized positron beams are in some respect mandatory complements to polarized electron beams. The advent of the PEPPo concept for polarized positron production opens the possibility for the developement at the Jefferson Laboratory of a…
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 effects of dissipation on the thermodynamic properties of nonlinear quantum systems are approached by the path-integral method in order to construct approximate classical-like formulas for evaluating thermal averages of thermodynamic…
The path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, i.e., the idea that the evolution of a quantum system is determined as a sum over all the possible trajectories that would take the system from the initial to its final state of its…
I discuss inclusive and semi-inclusive lepton-hadron scattering emphasizing the importance of polarization in order to study various single or double spin asymmetries and the importance of particle identification and angular resolution in…
John Bell's investigations in foundations of quantum mechanics, particle physics, and quantum field theory are recalled.
We give a review of the mathematical and physical properties of the celebrated family of Calogero-like models and related spin chains.
We analyze the worldline formalism in the presence of a gravitational background. In the worldline formalism a path integral is used to quantize the worldline coordinates of the particles. Contrary to the simpler cases of scalar and vector…
The contributions of Lucio Russo to the mathematics of percolation and disordered systems are outlined. The context of his work is explained, and its ongoing impact on current work is described and amplified.
We developed a new method based on functional integration to treat the dynamics of polarons in one-dimensional systems. We treat the acoustical and the optical case in an unified manner, showing their differences and similarities. The…
In a recent paper, Lucco Castello et al. [arXiv:2107.03537] provided an accurate parametrization of classical one-component plasma bridge functions that was embedded in a novel dielectric scheme for strongly coupled electron liquids. Here,…
We review some recent arguments supporting the upgrade of the International Linear Collider by a polarized positron beam, in addition to the polarized electron beam. The examples presented here mainly focus on the impact of positron…
I review the theoretical understanding of the global structure of pulsar magnetospheres concentrating on recent progress in force-free electrodynamics and first-principles simulations of magnetospheres.
An overview is presented of the fundamentals of continuum-polaron physics, which provide the basis of the analysis of polaron effects in ionic crystals and polar semiconductors. The present paper deals with "large", or "continuum",…
Path integration is a respected form of quantization that all theoretical quantum physicists should welcome. This elaboration begins with simple examples of three different versions of path integration. After an important clarification of…
A simplified model of tachyon matter in classical and quantum mechanics is constructed. p-Adic path integral quantization of the model is considered. Recent results in using p-adic analysis, as well as perspectives of an adelic…
Recent progress in the field of spin physics of high energy particle interactions is reviewed with particular emphasis on the spin structure functions as measured in polarized deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering (DIS). New measurements…
Defining interdisciplinary physics today requires first a reformulation of what is physics today, which in turn calls for clarifying what makes a physicist. This assessment results from my forty year journey arguing and fighting to build…
Brief Description: The book provides a unique highly self-contained text introducing the reader to the classical and modern theory of polyanalytic functions and their generalizations. This is a subbranch of complex analysis of several…
