相关论文: The Early Days of QCD (as seen from Rome)
In memory of Guido Altarelli I present my personal recollections of the early times and his major role played in the development of QCD.
This is a talk delivered at the Meeting on Integrable Quantum Field Theories, Villa Olmo and at STRINGS 1992, Rome, September 1992. I discuss some recent attempts to revive two old ideas regarding an analytic approach to QCD-the development…
A short review of the many contributions to hadron physics made by Mario Greco is presented. The review roughly covers his production between 1971 and 1974, just before the advent of QCD, when quark-model ideas, duality principles and…
Invited talk at European Workshop on the QCD Structure of the Nucleon (QCD-N\'02), Ferrara, Italy, 3--6 Apr 2002
These are excerpts from the closing talk at the "XIIth Conference on Quark Confinement and the Hadron Spectrum", which took place last Summer in Thessaloniki --an excellent place to enjoy an interest in archeology. A more complete personal…
The first ``Convegno Informale su Quantum Groups'' was held in Florence from February 3 to 6, 1993. This Convegno was conceived as an informal meeting to bring together all the italian people working in the field of quantum groups and…
One outlines here in brief how the work of $Gian Carlo Rota$ had influenced my group research and life, starting from the end of the last century up to present time state of $The Internet Gian Carlo Rota Polish Seminar$. This note has been…
Whenever one has witnessed some event and then sees it reported in the media, one's reaction is the same: "it was not quite like that". It is in this spirit of a frequent first-hand witness that I write this article. I discuss a few…
In these shorts notes I want to remembermy relationship with GianCarlo Ghirardi, who was my supervisor in my Master Degree in Physics at the University of Trieste and then he became a very deep and close friend. I don't want to describe in…
The last decade witnessed a renewed interest in the development of the Italian computer industry and in the role of the Fifties pioneers in Rome, Milan, Ivrea, and Pisa. The aim of the paper is to retrace some steps of the CEP project,…
These proceedings contain research results presented during the Workshops "Quark Matter in Astro- and Particle Physics" held at the University of Rostock, November 27-29, 2000 and "Dynamical Aspects of the QCD Phase Transition" held at the…
The history of the development of Monte Carlo methods to solve the many-body problem in quantum mechanics is presented. The survey starts with the early attempts with the first available computers just after the war and extends until the…
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…
I sketch the main lines of development of the research in quantum gravity, from the first explorations in the early thirties to nowadays.
Invited Talk at the Conference "QCD -- 20 Years Later", June 9 - 13, 1992, Aachen, Germany
Lecture notes delivered in Barcellona in the fall of 2003
I recount my personal experience interacting with Roman Jackiw in the 1980s, when we both worked on Chern-Simons theories in three dimensions.
This is the write-up of my lectures at the NATO Summer School held in Salamanca in June 1992. The paper deals with the problem of time in quantum gravity. All the major schemes are reviewed. Please note that the paper is in two parts for…
In the period 1968 - 1974 I was a graduate student and then a postdoc at Caltech and was involved with the developments of the quark and parton models. Most of this time I worked in close contact with Richard Feynman and thus was present…
I offer a brief summary, with commentary, of theoretical contributions to Moriond QCD 2008.
