Comment on ``Experimental Demonstration of Violations of the Second Law of Thermodynamics for Small Systems and Short Time Scales''

These are notes from the 2003 C.I.M.E. summer school "symplectic 4-manifolds and algebraic surfaces". They cover the same material as the author's (by now ancient) Ph.D. thesis.

Short review article on quantum computation accepted for Supplement III, Encyclopaedia of Mathematics (publication expected Summer 2001). See also http://www.wkap.nl/series.htm/ENM

Contents: 1. Pomeron physics 2. Multiplicities 3. Single-particle distributions 4. Correlations and fluctuations 5. Special final states and interaction mechanisms 6. Cosmic rays and forward detectors

We derive a generalized gradient approximation to the exchange energy to be used in density functional theory calculations of two-dimensional systems. This class of approximations has a long and successful history, but it has not yet been…

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

Lecture delivered at XXXVI Summer School on Subnuclear Physics at Erice in September 1998. It contains a brief reflection on the development of QFT in late sixties and a discussion of the role of solitons in realistic field theoretic…

These are notes of lectures given at The NATO Advanced Study Institute/EC Summer School on ``New Theoretical Approaches to Strongly Correlated Systems'' (Newton Institute, April 2000). They are a sequel to the notes I wrote two years ago…

This purely recreational paper is about one of the most colorful characters of the Italian Renaissance, Girolamo Cardano, and the discovery of two basic ingredients of quantum theory, probability and complex numbers. The paper is dedicated…

This paper is based on a course given by the author at the University of Rome ``La Sapienza'' in the Academic year 2000/2001. The intended aim of the course was to rapidly introduce, although not in an exhaustive way, the non-expert PhD…

Lecture notes from a minicourse given at the ICTP in May 2002.

We present an informal discussion of some aspects of strong interactions under extreme conditions of temperature and density at an elementary level. This summarizes lectures delivered at the 2013 CERN -- Latin-American School of High-Energy…

I describe my path to unconventionality in my exploration of theoretical and applied aspects of computation towards revealing the algorithmic and reprogrammable properties and capabilities of the world, in particular related to applications…

The results summarized here are intended as rigorous mathematical statements on various physical models coming from condensed matter physics, statistical mechanics (classical and quantum), quantum field theory and cold atoms physics. The…

We study the fatigue fracture of disordered materials by means of computer simulations of a discrete element model. We extend a two-dimensional fracture model to capture the microscopic mechanisms relevant for fatigue, and we simulate the…

In the 80th anniversary book for Alex M\"uller I wrote a story of our scientific collaboration, Shared Fascinations. This time I will be more personal, about the human side of our collaboration and encounters, while also referring to…

Lectures given at International School of Physics ``Enrico Fermi'', Varenna, Villa Monastero, June 28-July 7 1994

This is a brief review paper summarizing talks at the NATO school on Complexity and Large Deviations in Geilo, Norway, 2001.

The paper is dedicated to 25th anniversary of Condensed Matter Physics journal (CMP). It contains the results of comprehensive analysis of different journal-related data. CMP co-authorship relationships are studied analysing the…
