相关论文: The work of Lucio Russo on percolation

The review is a brief description of the state of problems in percolation theory and their numerous applications, which are analyzed on base of interesting papers published in the last 15-20 years. At the submitted papers are studied both…

A review is given of some mathematical contributions, ideas and questions concerning liquid crystals.

We describe the percolation model and some of the principal results and open problems in percolation theory. We also discuss briefly the spectacular recent progress by Lawler, Schramm, Smirnov and Werner towards understanding the phase…

In this paper we describe the work of Luis Caffarelli in the area of fluid mechanics and related topics. Not only has his work on fluid mechanics been very influential, but many of his contributions that do not directly relate to fluid…

In the introduction to this volume, we discuss some of the highlights of the research career of Chuck Newman. This introduction is divided into two main sections, the first covering Chuck's work in statistical mechanics and the second his…

In this paper the contribution of Bruno Ponrecoevo will be illustrated Special emphasis will be given to oscillations physics that he was the first to propose.

This is a short overview of the influence of mathematicians and their ideas on the creative contribution of Mikhailo Lomonosov on the occasion of the tercentenary of his birth.

Interacting particle systems and percolation have been among the most active areas of probability theory over the past half century. Ted Harris played an important role in the early development of both fields. This paper is a bird's eye…

An introduction to Chiral Perturbation Theory is given including a discussion of power counting, the Wess-Zumino term, the values of the coupling constants and the inclusion of the effects of other resonances.

We discuss Luigi Cremona's contribution to the early development of the theory of cubic surfaces.

This article is a draft of a book chapter of the book entitled "Quantum Percolation and Breakdown", to appear 2008.

Percolation models describe the inside of a porous material. The theory emerged timidly in the middle of the twentieth century before becoming one of the major objects of interest in probability and mathematical physics. The golden age of…

This is a (long) survey about applications of percolation theory in equilibrium statistical mechanics. The chapters are as follows: 1. Introduction 2. Equilibrium phases 3. Some models 4. Coupling and stochastic domination 5. Percolation 6.…

This is a survey article to be part of the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics, to be published by Elsevier in the beginning of 2006.

I review some of the scientific work of George Papadopoulos in the context of the Greek cultural tradition and modern theoretical physics. The main emphasis is on his works on path integrals and their applications. The review is closed by…

Percolation is the paradigm for random connectivity and has been one of the most applied statistical models. With simple geometrical rules a transition is obtained which is related to magnetic models. This transition is, in all dimensions,…

Further formulas are presented involving quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and integrable systems. Modifications of dispersionless theory are developed.

In this small note I try to summarize some observations about Euclid's remarkable role in mathematics and about the ambient philosophy.

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.

This text is a slightly edited version of lecture notes for a course I gave at ETH, during the Summer term 2001, to undergraduate Mathematics and Physics students. It covers a few selected topics from perturbation theory at an introductory…
