174. Frank Wilczek on anyons
Another interesting recent paper in archives which a undergrad student will be able to read is the paper “New kinds of quantum statistics” by Frank Wilczek. I would say it is actually useful to read it irrespectively whether you are going to specialize in quantum field theory and string theory, condensed matter physics or quantum [...]
172. Color glass condensate and glasma
I am currently reading a paper that, I should admit, I absolutely fell in love with – the one by Larry McLerran called “A brief introduction to the color glass condensate“. What is the reason for me to show up warm feelings? This is because the concentration of non-trivial physical ideas per page is so [...]

170. Back to AdS/QCD – interview with Josh
As you may remember, recently Josh Erlich has made a guest blog post about AdS/QCD at NEQNET. I think that the discussion we had after the post is so terrific that it is worth reposting here in the form of brief interview with Josh. Another reason for reposting is that you, guys, did not want [...]
169. Treasuries bubble
NEW YORK, Jan 5 (Reuters) – Longer-maturity U.S. Treasuries prices fell steeply on Monday, extending the previous session’s sell-off as auctions later this week highlighted prospects for a swelling supply of government debt, analysts said. The government debt market’s tumble reflects analysts’ deepening fears that Treasuries now form a price bubble that will pop as [...]
168. Yoneya on gravity from strings
As you may remember, recently we’ve discussed the paper by Alexander Polyakov – essentially, his contribution into the forthcoming volume “The birth of string theory”. Tamiaki Yoneya has also recently submitted his contribution to ArXiv (on Dec 31! ), which is definitely worth going through, too. Reading his paper allowed me to make a couple [...]
167. The return of the phoenix universe
This is a guest blog post by Jean-Luc Lehners from Princeton University. Dmitry. In a recent paper entitled “Dark energy and the return of the phoenix universe” that I wrote with Paul Steinhardt, we analyzed the fate and global structure of the two-scalar-field cyclic universe. (In the cyclic universe the big bang is modeled by [...]
166. Multifield Inflation with a Random Potential (I)
This is a guest blog post by Jiajun Xu from Cornell. Dmitry. This is a guest post by Dmitry’s invitation. Here I would like to talk about the inflation scenario proposed in our recent paper “Multifield Inflation with a Random Potential“, collaborated with Prof. Henry Tye and a fellow graduate student Yang Zhang. I would [...]
165. Back online, sorry
It seems that our SQL server broke down on Saturday, and the system administrator of my host was on vacation (Not only we, but a couple of other sites were affected.) Deeply sorry for that, but these were holidays, and I hope you had enough time even without reading our nerdy staff Anyway, we are [...]
