These are my recollections of working with George Sudarshan from 2002 to 2008 when I was a PhD student in his group. During these years I learnt a lot of physics and also witness to some remarkable occurrences.
I give a pedagogical and historical introduction to axion physics, and briefly review the present status of axions in our understanding of particle physics and cosmology. This is a contribution to Continuous Advances in QCD 2002/Arkadyfest,…

It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of Ning Cai, a luminary whose pioneering spirit illuminated the realms of network coding and beyond. On May 25, 2023, at the age of 75, Prof. Cai bid farewell, leaving behind a profound…
The series of papers by Chandrasekhar and Munch in the 1950s were concerned with the use of statistical models to infer the properties of interstellar clouds based on the observed spatial brightness fluctuations of the Milky Way. The…
This brief text is in memory of Professor Ivan Kupka. It presents his vision, scientific life, his interest in mathematics and our join collaboration.
Errico Presutti was a leading figure in mathematical physics and an important contributor to rigorous results in statistical mechanics. Due to his strong scientific personality and human qualities, there are many who remember Errico…
Wasssily Hoeffding's terminal illness and untimely death in 1991 put an end to efforts that were made to interview him for Statistical Science. An account of his scientific work is given in Fisher and Sen [The Collected Works of Wassily…
Alex, the main discoverer of high Tc superconductivity, was also a dear friend. Here I offer a few frank anecdotes, possibly inaccurate in some details but heartfelt and accurate in the substance, as a personal tribute to our friendship.
In celebration of Professor Ron Doney's 80th birthday, we provide a summary of his academic career and contributions to probability theory, as one of the UK's leading probabilists for over 50 years. A version of this note also serves as an…
This paper celebrates the remarkable life, science and legacy of Abb\'e Georges Lema\^itre, the Belgian cleric and professor of physics; he was the architect of the fireworks model for the origin of the universe. He died half a century ago,…
Superfluidity is a remarkable manifestation of quantum mechanics at the macroscopic level. This article describes the history of its discovery, which took place at a particularly difficult period of the twentieth century. A special emphasis…
In diffraction catastrophes such as the rainbow the wave nature of light resolves ray singularities and draws delicate interference patterns. In quantum catastrophes such as the black hole the quantum nature of light resolves wave…
We reflect on the life and influence of the academic journal, charting their history and contributions, discussing how their influence changed society, and examining how in death they will be mourned for what they initially stood for but in…
During the Foundations of Future Communication Systems (FFCS) conference in Braunschweig, a dedicated memorial session was held in honor of Dr. Vladimir (Volodya) Sidorenko (1949-2025). The session, chaired by Minglai Cai, brought together…
The paper deals with the modified Raychaudhuri equation (RE) within the framework of homogeneous and isotropic Fractal Universe. Focusing of a congruence of time-like geodesics has been examined for three generic choices of the fractal…
Alexander Andreevich Andrianov was a remarkable personality in Russian physics during the last decades. A member of th prestigious school of theoretical physics in Saint Petersburg, he made relevant contributions to a number of topics along…
Professor Alan Selman has been a giant in the field of computational complexity for the past forty years. This article is an appreciation, on the occasion of his retirement, of some of the most lovely concepts and results that Alan has…
Robert Harry Kraichnan {(1928-2008)} was one of the leaders in the theory of turbulence for a span of about forty years (mid-fifties to mid-nineties). Among his many contributions, he is perhaps best known for his work on the inverse energy…
The article is dedicated to recalling the life and mathematics of Louis Nirenberg, a distinguished Canadian mathematician who recently died in New York, where he lived. An emblematic figure of Analysis and Partial Differential Equations in…
