The highlights of the Working Group 5B, Theory, are summarised. There has been reported impressive progresses in the study of BFKL Pomeron and Odderon dynamics. It turns out that the leading log approximation is not still a good one in the energy r...
I review Stanley Mandelstam's many contributions to particle physics, quantum field theory and string theory covering the years 1955 through 1980. His more recent work will be reviewed by Nathan Berkovits. This is my contribution to the Memorial Volu...
We extend the skein lasagna theory of Morrison-Walker-Wedrich to 4-manifolds with corners and formulate gluing formulas for 4-manifolds with boundary and, more generally, with corners. As an application, we develop a categorical framework for a prese...
We give a survey of a number of simple applications of renewal theory to problems on random strings and tries: insertion depth, size, insertion mode and imbalance of tries; variations for b-tries and Patricia tries; Khodak and Tunstall codes....
This is the introductory paper to the special issue of Topology and Its Applications entirely dedicated to the theory of continuous selections of multivalued mappings. Since the pioneering work of Ernest Michael from 1956 can rightfully be consider...
We have previously presented a critique of the standard Marshallian theory of the firm, and developed an alternative formulation that better agreed with the results of simulation. An incorrect mathematical fact was used in our previous presentation....
Although implicit in the discovery of the Schwarzschild solution 40 years earlier, the issues raised by the theory of what are now known as black holes were so unsettling to physicists of Einstein's generation that the subject remained in a state o...
I present the first complete theory of OCD. OCD occurs when excessive CRH is released in the prefrontal cortex, activating cAMP. cAMP is a major inducer of HCN channels, which promote repeated neural firing. The combination of CRH, which is strongly...
The field-effect mobility in an organic thin-film transistor is studied theoretically. From a percolation model of hopping between localized states and a transistor model an analytic expression for the field-effect mobility is obtained. The theory...
We use descent theoretic methods to solve the homotopy limit problem for Hermitian $K$-theory over quasi-compact and quasi-separated base schemes. As another application of these descent theoretic methods, we compute the cellular Picard group of 2-co...
Orthogonal array and a large set of orthogonal arrays are important research objects in combinatorial design theory, and they are widely applied to statistics, computer science, coding theory and cryptography. In this paper, some new series of large...
Left unnoticed for almost a century, 1916 Sommerfeld H theory hides a van der Waals-Maxwell phase transition in the Coulomb lepton-nucleon attraction of ground state H. This classical 19th century symmetry breaking effect, important for CPT, is confi...
A quantum impulse is a brief but strong perturbation that produces a sudden change in a wavefunction $ψ(x)$. We develop a theory of quantum impulses, distinguishing between ordinary and super impulses. An ordinary impulse paints a phase onto $ψ$, w...

Response to a poll can be manipulated by means of a series of leading questions. We show that such phenomena cannot be explained by use of classical probability theory, whereas quantum probability theory admits a possibility of offering an explanatio...
Taking as starting point a perturbative study of the classical equations of motion of the non-Abelian Chern-Simons Theory with non-dynamical sources, we search for analytical expressions for link invarians. In order to present these expressions in...
The Navier--Stokes transport coefficients of multicomponent granular suspensions at moderate densities are obtained in the context of the (inelastic) Enskog kinetic theory. The suspension is modeled as an ensemble of solid particles where the influen...
We introduce Rosetta, a program allowing for the translation between different bases of effective field theory operators. We present the main functions of the program and provide an example of usage. One of the Lagrangians which Rosetta can translate...
We calculate the masses of the nucleons and deltas in twisted mass heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. We work to quadratic order in a power counting scheme in which we treat the lattice spacing and the quark masses to be of the same order. We...
Transactive Memory System (TMS) is a group theory that describes how communication can enable the combination of individual minds into a group. While this theory has been extensively studied in human-human groups, it has not yet been formally applied...
