This paper will be published in ``50 years of the renormalization group", dedicated to the memory of Michael E. Fisher, edited by Amnon Aharony, Ora Entin-Wohlman, David Huse, and Leo Radzihovsky, World Scientific. I start with a review of…

The remarkable technical contributions of Michael E. Fisher to statistical physics and the development of the renormalization group are widely known and deeply influential. But less well-known is his early and profound appreciation of the…

This contribution will be published in '50 years of the renormalization group', dedicated to the memory of Michael E. Fisher, edited by Amnon Aharony, Ora Entin-Wohlman, David Huse, and Leo Radzihovsky, World Scientific. These personal…

This is a very brief review article, written for a book (in preparation) in memory of Michael E. Fisher and to celebrate 50+ years since the Wilson-Fisher renormalization group. Strong-randomness renormalization groups were first developed…

As part of a chapter for a book titled "50 years of the renormalization group", dedicated to the memory of Michael E. Fisher, edited by Amnon Aharony, Ora Entin-Wohlman, David Huse, and Leo Radzihovsky, I review a class of novel ordered…

This is based on the after-dinner talk given at the 70th Birthday Conference for Michael E. Fisher at Rutgers in December, 2001. It is longer than the talk, incorporating additional text from the after-dinner talk I gave at Fisher's 60th…

A personal and subjective recollection, concerning mainly Wilson's lectures delivered over the spring of 1972 at Princeton University (summary of a talk at Cornell University on November 16, 2013 at the occasion of the memorial Kenneth G.…

We present an elementary introduction to entanglement renormalization, a real space renormalization group for quantum lattice systems. This manuscript corresponds to a chapter of the book "Understanding Quantum Phase Transitions", edited by…

The only rational way of educating is to be an example. If one cant help it, a warning example. Albert Einstein. I had the good fortune and privilege of having Michael Fisher as my teacher, supervisor, mentor and friend. During my years as…

This text follows the line of a talk on Ringberg symposium dedicated to Wolfhart Zimmermann 70th birthday. The historical overview (Part 1) partially overlaps with corresponding text of my previous commemorative paper. At the same time…

This is a very brief introduction to Wilson's Renormalization Group with emphasis on mathematical developments.

For continuous phase transitions characterized by power-law divergences, Fisher renormalization prescribes how to obtain the critical exponents for a system under constraint from their ideal counterparts. In statistical mechanics, such…

This paper summarizes and discusses the methodological research in human genetic linkage analysis, leading up to and following from the paper of C. A. B. Smith presented as a Royal Statistical Society discussion paper in 1953. This paper…

Fisher's fiducial probability has recently received renewed attention under the name confidence. In this paper, we reformulate it within an extended-likelihood framework, a representation that helps to resolve many long-standing…

Tutorial chapter on the Online EM algorithm to appear in the volume 'Mixtures' edited by Kerrie Mengersen, Mike Titterington and Christian P. Robert.

Contribution to the proceedings of the NATO workshop on the Electroweak Phase Transition and the Early Universe, Sintra, March 1994. To be published by Plenum Press.

This review is an introduction to theoretical models and mathematical calculations for biological evolution, aimed at physicists. The methods in the field are naturally very similar to those used in statistical physics, although the…

This online book contains the proceedings of a meeting held at Michigan State University to celebrate the career and contributions of Horace A Smith. The meeting focused on the areas of astronomy which Horace worked on over the years and…

Rejoinder: Fisher Lecture: Dimension Reduction in Regression [arXiv:0708.3774]

I discuss the progress we have made on modifying Weinberg's prescription for chiral nuclear forces, using renormalization group invariance as the guideline. Some of the published results are presented.
