A brief summary of recent developments in mathematical diffraction theory is given. Particular emphasis is placed on systems with aperiodic order and continuous spectral components. We restrict ourselves to some key results and refer to the…

I review various theory issues in diffraction that have been presented and discussed in the working group on diffractive interactions, and a few points concerning the comparison of theory with data.

A brief review of the modern QCD theory of diffractive DIS is given.

Glauber theory for nucleus-nucleus scattering at high incident energies is reformulated so as to become applicable also for the scattering at intermediate energies. We test validity of the eikonal and adiabatic approximations used in the…

This is a review of Glauber's asymptotic diffraction theory, in which diffractive scattering is described in terms of interference between semiclassical amplitudes, resulting from a stationary-phase approximation. Typically two such…

Mathematical diffraction theory is concerned with the diffraction image of a given structure and the corresponding inverse problem of structure determination. In recent years, the understanding of systems with continuous and mixed spectra…

This survey aims to give an overview of several substantial developments of the last 50 years in the structure theory of regular semigroups and to shed light on their impact on other parts of semigroup theory.

This paper presents a summary of the theoretical presentations to the international workshop "Diffraction 2006". The range of topics covered during the workshop was quite broad and this summary is therefore somewhat selective covering…

Ongoing microlensing surveys have already yielded more than five hundred microlensing events, most of which have been identified in real-time. In this review I present the basic theory and observational status of these surveys. I highlight…

Diffraction studies at HERA are introduced, with reference to other communications to this Conference. Motivations and specific features of the experimental approaches are stressed.

I review some of the results presented in the working group on diffraction at DIS97, with a particular emphasis on the theory of diffractive hard scattering.

This is a cursory review of diffractive studies ( mostly elastic scattering)at the LHC with physical interpretation of the experimental data and comments to related problems of theory.

The array of micro-prisms was described by model of multi-period blazed gratings consisting of triangular apertures. The origins of hexagram-shaped diffraction patterns were interpreted based on multiple-beam interference and diffraction…

The topic of the glass transition gives rise to a a wide diversity of views. It is, accordingly, characterized by a lack of agreement on which would be the most profitable theoretical perspective. In this chapter, I provide some elements…

I review some of the main results on hard diffraction, in their relation to QCD, and indicate some of the strengths and weaknesses of the arguments. I also make some suggestions for future work.

New views on the diffuse interstellar bands are discussed. In particular results from DIB surveys and the study of near-infrared DIBs.

I discuss and connect a number of topics in small-x physics at HERA and at LHC, pointing out recent progress and open questions in theory and phenomenology.

The time-dependent Bragg diffraction by multilayer gratings working by reflection or by transmission is investigated. The study is performed by generalizing the time-dependent coupled-wave theory previously developed for one-dimensional…

Hadronic diffraction has become a hot and fashionable subject in recent years due to the great interest triggered by the HERA and Tevatron data. These data have helped to put the field in a different perspective paving the road to a…

This survey presents an overview of the advances around Tverberg's theorem, focusing on the last two decades. We discuss the topological, linear-algebraic, and combinatorial aspects of Tverberg's theorem and its applications. The survey…
