Hadron Structure and QCD: Effective Field Theory for Lattice Simulations
Chiral extrapolations will be essential for many years if one is to connect modern lattice QCD calculations with experiment. Given the enormous... -
Quark Propagator from LQCD and Its Physical Implications
The quark propagator lies at the core of lattice hadron spectrum calculations as well as studies in other nonperturbative schemes. It manifestly... -
Baryon Spectroscopy in Lattice QCD
We review recent developments in the study of excited baryon spectroscopy in lattice QCD. After introducing the basic methods used to extract masses... -
Hadron Properties with FLIC Fermions
The Fat-Link Irrelevant Clover (FLIC) fermion action provides a new form of nonperturbative O(a)-improvement in lattice fermion actions offering near... -
Euclidean Quantum Field Theory on Commutative and Noncommutative Spaces
I give an introduction to Euclidean quantum field theory from the point of view of statistical physics, with emphasis both on Feynman graphs and on... -
Computing the η and η′ Mesons in Lattice QCD
It has been known for a long time that the large experimental singlet-octet mass gap in the pseudoscalar meson mass spectrum originates from the... -
Index Theorems and Noncommutative Topology
These lecture notes are mainly devoted to a K-theory proof of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem. Some applications of the K-theory to noncommutative... -
Astrophysical Bounds on Planck Suppressed Lorentz Violation
This article reviews many of the observational constraints on Lorentz symmetry violation (LV). We first describe the GZK cuto. and other phenomena... -
Inflationary Cosmological Perturbations of Quantum-Mechanical Origin
This review article aims at presenting the theory of inflation. We first describe the background spacetime behavior during the slow-roll phase and... -
Quantum Gravity
It is not clear at all what is the problem in quantum gravity (cf. [3] or [8] for general reviews, written in the same spirit as the present one).... -
Beyond the Standard Model
Some possible directions for physics beyond the Standard Model are reviewed, with particular emphasis on topics relevant to astrophysics and... -
Cosmic Microwave Background Fluctuations
Several experiments have recently detected very low contrast, sub-horizon scale structures in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). In the current... -
Evidence for an Accelerating Universe from Type Ia Supernovae
The expansion history of the universe is revealed by measurements of cosmic distances. Since the various energy components in a Friedmann universe... -
Constraining Cosmological Parameters with Observations of Galaxy Clusters
Galaxy clusters are ideal probes of the large-scale structure of the Universe and for the tests of cosmological models. Based on the REFLEX redshift... -
The NASA - MIDEX Swift Mission
The Gamma Ray Bursts as powerful extragalactic sources are one of the major discovery which occurred in the last decade thanks to the BATSE satellite... -
Fundamental Physics with Space Experiments
I review a category of experiments in fundamental physics that need space as a laboratory. All these experiments have in common the need of a very... -
Connections Between Quantum Theory and Cosmology: An Unconventional View
Usually cosmology is seen as a special part of general relativity. Quantum theory is normally understood as responsible for the small and the very... -
A New Unifying Field Spacetime Structure
Analysis of the data and equations for the solar system and the hydrogen atom identified a unifying spacetime structure intrinsic to the fields. The... -
High Energy Photon Flux Prediction from Neutralino Annihilation in M 31
Considering a NFW halo of M 31 made of neutralinos, predictions for the... -
Cosmic Shear from STIS Pure Parallels - II. Analysis
The tidal gravitational field due to the inhomogeneous distribution of matter in the Universe causes the distortion of light bundles from distant...
