Einstein: His Life and Universe

Carmine Melino: a Universe by his own.

Color superconductivity in the static Einstein Universe

We study the behavior of quark and diquark condensates in dense quark matter under the influence of a gravitational field adopting as a simple model the static D−dimensional Einstein Universe. Calculations are performed in the framework of the extended Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model at finite temperature and quark density on the basis of the thermodynamic potential and the gap equations. Quark and di...

Semmelweis: his Life and Work

Wildberger became a renowned local figure and received an honorary medical doctorate from Jena and many foreign honours. In later life he moved his institute to Forchheim, where he had the assistance of his medically-qualified son before the latter emigrated to America. His writings on the proper training of orthopaedic surgeons, with their insistence on early specialist education in methods an...

Dynamical Symmetry Breaking in Einstein Universe

We investigate four-fermion interactions with N -component fermion in Einstein universe for arbitrary space-time dimensions (2 ≤ D < 4). It is found that the effective potential for composite operator ψψ is calculable in the leading order of the 1/N expansion. The resulting effective potential is analyzed by varying the curvature of the space-time and is found to exhibit the symmetry restoratio...

Sherrington. His life and thought

Of twentieth-century physiologists, probably only Pavlov has been subjected to as much historical attention as Sir Charles Scott Sherrington (1857-1952). In addition to a large number of articles and obituaries, Lord Cohen of Birkenhead, Ragnar Granit, and Judith Swazey have written monographs on Sherrington, and E. G. T. Liddell's Discovery of the reflexes (1960) devoted a great deal of space ...
