These notes form an introduction to Lie algebras and group theory. Most of the material can be found in many works by various authors given in the list of references. The reader is referred to such works for more detail.

This is an invited contribution to the Special Issue of "Foundations of Physics" titled "Forty Years Of String Theory: Reflecting On the Foundations". I have been asked to assess string theory as an outsider, and to compare it with the…

An obituary of J.R. Dorfman. The focus is on his scientific career and on his many important publications.

The aim of this paper is to give an introduction to our axiomatic logical analysis of relativity theories.

We consider the implications of some simple assumptions about the nature of the quantum theory of gravity which are plausible for a class of possible theories I have been attempting to construct. The simple assumptions turn out to have…

The theory of measurement is employed to elucidate the physical basis of general relativity. For measurements involving phenomena with intrinsic length or time scales, such scales must in general be negligible compared to the (translational…

This is a short review article in which we discuss and summarize the works of various researchers over past four decades on Zeeman topology and Zeeman-like topologies, which occur in special and general theory of relativity. We also discuss…

This article contains a short review of the current status of string theory.

This brief review is intended to introduce gravitational physicists to recent developments in which general relativity is being used to describe certain aspects of condensed matter systems, e.g., superconductivity.

A personal perspective on the future challenges of research in particle physics is presented with emphasis on the role of DIS physics in this endeavour.

A modern elementary introduction to special relativity for advanced school children or first-year university students, in Russian. I try to demonstrate that relativity does not contradict common sense; on the contrary, it follows from…

I first recall the last occasion of meeting the late Professor Yoichiro Nambu in a hospital in Osaka. I then present a brief introduction to the moonshine phenomenon in string theory which is under recent investigations.

A new approach to special relativity is presented which introduces coordinate systems with imaginary time axes, observation systems, and coordinate bases.

We present an introduction to special relativity kinematics stressing the part played by clocks synchronized following a procedure proposed by Einstein.

This is the written version of a short talk given at the University of Leipzig in December 1998. It reviews some general aspects of string theory from the viewpoint of the search for an unifying theory. Here, special emphasis lies on the…

This set of lectures introduces at an elementary level the supersymmetric Standard Model and discusses some of its phenomenological properties. (Lectures given by J. Louis at the summer school ``Grundlagen und neue Methoden der…

In this paper, we have extended the composite Skyrme model proposed by H. Y. Cheung, F. Gursey to some respects of theoretical physics such as supersymmetry, gravitation.

Whoever has to learn or to teach thermodynamics is confronted with conceptual difficulties which are specific to this field of physics ([1],[2]). It seems that they can be eliminated by inserting relativity in the thermodynamic theory. The…

Special relativity, the symmetry breakdown in the electroweak standard model, and the dichotomy of the spacetime related transformations with the Lorentz group, on the one side, and the chargelike transformations with the hypercharge and…

Gisbert Winnewisser's astronomical career was practically coextensive with the whole development of molecular radio astronomy. Here I would like to pick out a few of his many contributions, which I, personally, find particularly interesting…
