The present review is based on the lectures that the author had been giving during several years at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich). Being bounded by lecture frames, the selection of the material, by…
Lecture notes on selected topics in the theory of gravitation.
This book includes my lectures, together with their problem sets and solutions, on 1) classical mechanics (one semester), 2) thermodynamics and statistical mechanics (one semester), and 3) quantum mechanics (one semester), which I have been…
This is an expository article based on my lectures on eigenfunctions of the Laplacian for the 2013 IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute (PCMI) summer school in geometric analysis. Many of the results are based on joint work with H.…
Proposal for contribution to the quantum field theory section in "Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics".
A summary of the session on Particle Astrophysics at the Rencontre de Vietnam, 2006.
In this work I show that a simple Field Theory on a non trivial gauge background may behave as a phantom field and contribute to an effective $w<-1$ state equation fluid contribution to cosmology.
This article describes an undergraduate physics module at a university in England that places year 3 student physicists in secondary school classrooms for a semester. This is done as a way of introducing them to the occupation of secondary…
Lecture Notes, Summer School on Effective Theories and Fundamental Interactions, Erice, July 1996. I describe the construction of effective field theories for equilibrium high-temperature plasma of elementary particles.
This is a set of lectures given at the 99' Cargese Summer School: Particle Physics : Ideas and Recent Developments. They contain a pedestrian exposition of recent theoretical progress in non-perturbative field theory and string theory based…
This is the written version of lectures presented at "The 17th Symposium on Theoretical Physics - Applied Field Theory", 29 June - 1 July, 1998, the Sangsan Mathematical Science Building, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea.
An account is presented of the special session on "Gender and Sexual Diversity Issues in Physics" which took place at the American Physical Society March Meeting 2012. The opinions of those who attended this session were solicited via an…
Rejoinder to ``The 2005 Neyman Lecture: Dynamic Indeterminism in Science'' [arXiv:0808.0620]
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…
Opening lecture at the 2004 SLAC Summer Institute.
This is the abstract of an invited contribution to be presented at the 9th International Conference on Squeezed States and Uncertainty Relations, ICSSUR '05, Besancon, France, May 2-6, 2005.
These lectures provide an introduction to lattice methods for nonperturbative studies of quantum field theories, with an emphasis on Quantum Chromodynamics. Lecture 1 (Ch. 2): gauge field basics Lecture 2 (Ch. 3): Abelian duality with a…
A collection of short expository essays by the author on various topics in quantum mechanics, quantum cosmology, and physics in general.
This presentation is intended to give a flavour of the physics to be studied and discovered by exploiting the interface between string theory, M-theory and field theory provided by the dynamics of extended objects called `branes', and their…
Physicists and physics students have been studied with respect to the variation in ways they expound on their topic of research and a physics problem, respectively. A phenomenographic approach has been employed; six fourth-year physics…
