The formation of ionospheric physics – confluence of traditions and threads of continuity [PDF]
History of Geo- and Space Sciences, 2021 This paper examines how ionospheric physics emerged as a research speciality in Britain, Germany, and the United States in the first four decades of the 20th century. It argues that the formation of this discipline can be viewed as the confluence of four

Which Number System Is “Best” for Describing Empirical Reality?
Mathematics, 2022 Eugene Wigner’s much-discussed notion of the “unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics” as applied to describing the physics of empirical reality is simultaneously both trivial and profound. After all, the relevant mathematics was (in the first instance)

Some Multifaceted Aspects of Mathematical Physics, Our Common Denominator with Elliott Lieb †
Axioms, 2022 Mathematical physics has many facets, of which we shall briefly give a (very partial) description, centered around those of main interest for Elliott and us (Moshe Flato and I), and around the seminal scientific and personal interactions that developed ...

Homogenization: In mathematics or physics?
Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - Series S, 2016 Homogenization appeared more than 100 years ago. It is an approach to study the macro-behavior of a medium by its micro-properties. In mathematics, homogenization theory considers the limitations of the sequences of the problems and its solutions when a parameter tends to zero.

Reciprocal Transformations in Relativistic Gasdynamics. Lie Group Connections [PDF]
Open Communications in Nonlinear Mathematical Physics, 2021 Reciprocal transformations associated with admitted conservation laws were originally used to derive invariance properties in non-relativistic gasdynamics and applied to obtain reduction to tractable canonical forms.

, 2023 The world of mathematics is often considered abstract, with its symbols, concepts, and topics appearing unrelated to physical objects. However, it is important to recognize that the development of mathematics is fundamentally influenced by a basic fact: mathematicians and computers are physical objects subject to the laws of physics.

Point and counterpoint between Mathematical Physics and Physical Mathematics
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2010 In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in problems dating back for over half a century. In particular we refer to the questions of the consistency of quantisation and nonlinear canonical transformations and the quantisation of higher-order field theories.
